Hasta el cielo the good work of Calparsoro

‘Hasta el cielo’, the good work of Calparsoro

There are filmmakers who are already a safe bet for feature films and TV series: Sorogoyen and Calparsoro, for example. The last signed Hasta el cielo (Netflix), seven chapters that are a demonstration of good work with the invaluable collaboration of Jorge Guerricaechevarría, another sure value in the scripts. A tale of youth gangs, moon landings and pursuits with an added fact: an excellent cast, from the already established Luis Tosar and Patricia Rico to less battered and excellent performers, Asia Ortega, Álvaro Rico and that great discovery that is Alana Porras Espinosa She is better known on social networks as La Hija del Sheikh, a make-up artist turned actress with a spectacular presence.

There are many films and series by youth bands, with less talent.

Series that derives from a feature film of the same name by Calparsoro and Guerricaechevarría, something that fortunately we had already seen in cases like Fargo von den Coens and that demonstrates the good times of the Spanish film industry, even if the exhibitors The union is down and tablets , computers, silly boxes and cell phones or telephones, as Lázaro Carreter has suggested, are on the rise. It’s the market, fool!
