SCREENING | EL CRIMEN FERPECTO
Description :
Today we will watch “an almost perfect crime” (or “Lethean crime,” as the film’s alternative Greek title suggests). A comedy from Spain and one of the most important Spanish directors, Alex de la Iglesia, who is generally unknown to the general public.
Rafael, our protagonist today, lives for two reasons: to make love and to sell clothes to women. He is a charming and ambitious man who works as a salesman in a large department store. He is absolutely certain that he will succeed in achieving a very high position in his job, and that his success with women is the cause of his colleagues’ envy. However, there is one obstacle to his ambition to become a floor manager: a powerful rival, Don Antonio, who is a much older employee than himself. But the real danger lurks in the presence of an unexpected witness: Lourdes, an ugly and insignificant employee who is secretly in love with him.
Crimen Ferpecto is an enjoyable film, with clever jokes and an excellent performance by Guillermo Toledo. The transition from lord of Madrid and its women to a frightened petty bourgeois and victim of events and circumstances is exemplary.

The gap of the old remarkable cinema club and the chronic absence of quality cinema in the city is being filled by the New Cinema Club of Kalamata, a non-profit, cultural institution.
The main purpose of the club is to undertake any initiative related to the promotion of cinema and the encouragement of local cinema.
For this purpose, the New Cinema Club of Kalamata plans to organize screenings of films representing all the trends, directors and creators of cinema. Among the immediate plans of the Club, the organization of special events that seek to promote Greek cinema and its dissemination as an art form, such as the organization of a film library, lectures, conferences and workshops, is included.
The New Cinema Club of Kalamata is already a member of the Federation of Cinema Clubs of Greece. It cooperates closely with the Municipality of Kalamata and the public benefit enterprise of the Municipality of Kalamata “Faris”, and at the same time plans and seeks cooperation with other wider movements and cultural institutions.
