BigasLuna’s breakthrough film stars Spain’s greatest modern actor, Javier Bardem (THE SEA INSIDE) in his first major role, as "the Brando of Los Monegros," bullfighter and ham delivery-boy.
BigasLuna employs his trademark close-ups to create a carnal world of fish-heads, body parts and electric razors, underscored by Lotte Lenya’s haunting song "Bilbao." A nightmarish urban vision as powerful in its way as Scorsese’s TAXI DRIVER.
BigasLuna’s most scandalous and controversial film – it’s only been shown a handful of times in the U.S. where it was greeted with outrage by shocked audiences – CANICHE is also one of his finest portraits of obsession, frailty and the human heart of darkness.
