On 28 March, citizens of Sarajevo will have the opportunity to see a film directed by Alex de la Iglesia and written by Randy Feldman – ‘As Luck Would Have It’ (La chispa de la vida) in Kriterion cinema Sarajevo.
The film talks about Roberto , played by famed Spanish comic José Mota, who once had a promising careers in advertising. But now out of work during the economic downturn, he struggles to keep his family afloat and their dire situation a secret from his adoring wife Luisa played by Salma Hayek. After yet another dead end interview, it seems like reality will come crashing down on Roberto – until a freak car accident places him at the center of a wild media storm. Realizing his opportunity, Roberto hires a brazen agent to help him leverage his new found fame into fortune, but Luisa begins to worry about what lengths Roberto will go to for his family’s security. The new film from beloved cult director Alex de la Iglesia goes into fresh territory for the daring director, a dark comedy/social satire that also works as a deeply felt drama about the devotion of a husband and father. A wild riff on manhood in the modern media world, As Luck Would Have It is a skewed take on the strange world we live in.
Film will be showing from 28 March to 3 April at 8.20 p.m. and from 4 April to 10 April at 6 p.m.
Tickets are 5 BAM and 4 BAM for students and pensioners.
