Criticism of ‘The world is yours’, the end of the ‘Compadres Trilogy’

Alfonso López and Alberto Sánchez return to their characters in the third and final installment.

When one of the characters in this choral arena of national miseries, this grotesque hunt that is ‘The world is yours’ adds the Austro-Hungarian to its list of imprecations, we wake up from the Berlanguian dream that has always presided over the work of Alfonso Sánchez, here present in his tribute to ‘Welcome, Mister Marshall’ and ‘La escopeta nacional’, to enter a cruel reality. ‘The world is yours’ remains an accurate comedy (even very Monty Python in its most surreal moments), agile and rowdy that draws blood in each sequence shot and exudes gall in each comic situation.

But now it is also a desperate cry, hopeless, towards the Spain that we are living in. In the background, Alfonso Sánchez and his repertoire company (those splendid Alberto López and Carmen Canivell in an unusual ‘Eyes Wide Shut’) they seem to say goodbye to their ‘Compadres Trilogy’ with the joke coming out of a bitter mouth and saying uncomfortable truths like fists. Rummaging, with humorous anger, in the remains of that metaphorical and eternal Berlanga and Azcona heifer.

For coroners of today’s Spain with a comical scalpel in hand

The best: how recognizable that gallery of hateful characters is.

The worst: that his viscerality when criticizing bothers.
