Crimen ferpecto (2004)

(Moronic) English title: El Crimen Perfecto (The Perfect Crime).

(Mild spoilers) In the women's section of a department store, the womanizing manager accidentally kills his boss; the only witness is the only woman he never payed attention at, and who has long been in love with him.

I have a certain resistance against the easy cinema of de la Iglesia; his straightforward style never shies away from vulgarity and that marks him as inferior to me. That being said, with films such as The Day of the Beast, Common Wealth, and now Ferpect Crime, which is perhaps the best of them, he shows that, though he lacks subtlety altogether, he (and his usual co-screenwriter) knows exactly what he is doing and within his capabilities rarely missteps. In these dire days that is already something amazing. Truth be told, it is almost impossible not to be amused with Ferpect Crime: it is funny and ingenious and fast-paced.
