The Day of the Beast 4K 1995 SPANISH

Unfortunately, the film cannot be viewed as a bit of a phantasmagoric black comedy. Even if you want to call it trash for the first half hour, the ending changes everything.

Despite not the best game, the heroes managed to convey the most important things. Even if you imagine that the plot is tied to the abuse of hallucinogenic drugs, it is worth noting the development of characters in the course of the action. A big metalhead turns out to be a good person who was able to cognize the Truth. The same applies to a showman who is changing before our eyes. Instead of pseudo-life and pseudo-ideals, they team up with a half-crazy padre. For what? For the sake of a glimmer of hope, and not even for myself - for everyone.

There are a lot of storylines in the film, some of which are probably meant for those who are 'in the spotlight'. Or he is simply familiar with some European realities. The ribbon is replete with a huge number of references to others, such Easter eggs - it is not worth listing them, it is better to look again at least for this.

The most relevant, and probably the central storyline is the events associated with the movement 'For a clean Madrid'. Despite the fact that neo-Nazis appear in the film sporadically, for a very short time, it seems that the plot is tied to them - everything else is 'gloss' for the committees of folk art (note - see methods of censoring the fascist regimes of the middle of the past century, more details can be found in Umberto Eco's book 'Make Your Enemy'). It is in one of them that the devil is embodied, who after death turns out to be a man.

It is not surprising that the tape has received sufficient recognition in Europe - but not here. Unfortunately, the Russian audience either has not yet matured to feature films condemning Nazism in its modern guise, or has already merged so much with this phenomenon that it is not able to adequately respond to its manifestations.
