THE SUICIDES'S CLUB
EL CLUB DE LOS SUICIDAS
Loosely based on the short
stories of Robert Louis
Stevenson, the blackly
humorous Suicides' Club is
the third feature from Roberto
Santiago (The Longest
Penalty In The World ).
The film portrays the mishaps
of a frustrated group of people
who have each tried to commit
suicide one way or another
but without any luck, and who
now meet for group therapy
(sort of like AA). During one
session, they end up talking
about Stevenson's story 'The Suicides Club', and suddenly
they see the light and decide to
imitate the heroes on the novel,
realizing that assisted suicide
could prove a lucrative business.
However, the great difference is
that they are not in London on
the 19th Century but in Madrid,
2007!
Starring the stunning Lucia
Jimenez (The Kovac Box) and
hilarious TV megastar Fernando
Tejero, Suicides' Club was one
of the biggest hits at the 2007
Spanish Box Office - rocketing
to number one.
Comedy. Spain. 104 minutes. 2007. (18+)
