Curiosidades
The beginning of the action occurs in 1966 as mentioned at one point. It is also mentioned nobody can notice how fast time flies, so we don't know when the movie ends. However there is a hint: a Nazi official arrives towards the end. Since he has building models he must be an architect and since he settles in a suite he must be high ranking: it could be Albert Speer who died in 1981. Hence 15 years might have elapsed since the beginning of the movie.

Pifias
At one point the movie/TV stars dog is referred to as "she." All Lassies were played by male dogs. In the context it's likely the characters would have known that.

Citas
Cesar Valentin: Last year in the theatre we were doing "Othello". The moment I walked on stage the audience began to applaud and cheer. And I hadn't even opened my mouth. Clearly the audience couldn't possibly be applauding my performance as Othello as I couldn't begin playing him because of all the noise. So they're applauding me as a famous person. Valentin was getting all the applause while this poor chap Othello was standing there, hoping they would shut up.

Great, rarely seen movie

I was lucky enough to see this film at the Chicago Film Festival in the early 90s, and also to participate in a discussion after the screening with the director. I had not seen it again until today, broken up in 9 parts on YouTube. I remembered it vividly, though some 25 years have passed. A very clever philosophical comedy, beautifully shot with wonderful acting. It's a tragedy that this movie is so hard to find (especially considering Colin Firth's current popularity) and shocking that the director hasn't directed more than just one other feature and a short. I remember him telling us that most of the shots were improvised, not the acting of them, but the set ups and lighting, which is amazing considering how beautiful the movie is. It's really one of those "every shot looks like a painting" type films. The YouTube print actually does it justice, but I would love to get a DVD somehow. Anyway, however you can, see this movie. And someone hire this director again.
