Robbery at 3 o'clock

The virtual film club Appointment with the Cinema begins its 2024 with the comedy Atraco a las tres, by José María Forqué, a masterpiece of Spanish cinema.

With a cast of actors that shines from the first scene, the film parodies the noir film of robberies that was so successful in North American and Italian cinema.

Its director, José María Forqué, demonstrates, once again, his mastery in directing actors and his deep knowledge of the tools of the genre to construct this film, which combines black humour with social criticism, restricted to the parameters of the time.

Synopsis: Galindo, an unhappy dreamer, works as an accountant at a bank branch. One day he gathers a group of colleagues and proposes a robbery in the branch where they all work. Galindo convinces them of the feasibility of the robbery, which they prepare meticulously.

The activity is moderated by staff from the Cervantes Institute and has the participation of specialists linked to the making of the film (filmmakers, scriptwriters... .). Enjoy cinema in Spanish!
