La escopeta nacional

This is just an Spanish "hick" movie, quite typical from the Spanish folklore at the time. It just an extreme caricature of certain "archetypical" characters, taken to excessive levels of vulgarity and stupidity (hicks). It is addressed to a certain Spanish public that project their own vulgarity to the Spanish society in general and wants to see this movie as an intelligent critic to that society. However the plot is actually quite pedestrian: a business man comes to a hunting organised by people of the high society trying to buy favours and political influence for his business. All the comedy and situations rely only on the vulgarity of the characters.

Compared to other movies of the genre, altough the plot lacks any interest, it is well directed with complex long takes and elaborately choreographed scenes and dialogs.
