Description

An undertaker marries an executioner's daughter. Criterion Collection Year 2016 Video Release 2016-10-25 Studio Criterion Collection Genre Comedy MPAA Rating Not Rated Color Color Runtime 92 Animated Live-Action Full Synopsis This masterpiece of black humor, beloved in Spain but too little seen elsewhere, threads a scathing critique of Franco-era values through a macabre farce about an undertaker who marries an executioner's daughter and reluctantly takes over her father's job so the family can keep their government-allotted apartment. As caustic today as it was in 1963, this early collaboration between Luis Garcia Berlanga and his longtime screenwriter Rafael Azcona is an unerring depiction of what Berlanga called the invisible traps that society sets up for us. A furiously funny personal attack on capital punishment, The Executioner evaded the state censors who sought to suppress it, and today is regarded as one of the greatest Spanish films of all time. Director Luis Garcia Berlanga Cast Luis Garcia Berlanga; Nino Manfredi; Emma Penella; Jose Isbert; Jose Luis Lopez Vazquez
