REVIEW: 8 APELLIDOS VASCOS // SPANIS AFFAIR 8 APELLIDOS VASCOS // SPANIS AFFAIR is a Spanish film that reflex perfectly the Spanish culture and highlight the differences between the people from the north and people from the south of Spain. The film is set in Basque country and Sevilla city, it is a romantic comedy and its main actors are Dani Rovira and Clara Lago ones of the best Spanish actors nowadays. It was released in 2014 by the director Emilio Martinez Lazaro. The plot is absorbing, a Sevillian boy,that never had left Andalucia before, travel for love to a village in the Basque country, there he need to look like Basque and he don’t understand their culture and costumes. It’s plenty of amusing situations. The main characters are Amaia and Rafael the lovers, she is a bit moody and he is a little silly but they love each other despite of their differences. There are others important characters like Koldo, Amaia’s father, how reflex perfectly the Basque stereotype and have hilarious moments with Rafael, and Merche how plays an important roll in the movie because is from Caceres but she pretends to be Basque. I was pleasantly surprised by the stunning shots of both Basque country and Andalusia. To summarize, this film characterize ideally the Spanish culture and sends a message of unity and love despite our differences and tell us a romantic history in key of humour, I would definitely recommend watching it, it’s a must-see film. You’ll have a good time and laugh a lot.
