Spanish director Javier Aguirre is a special case in the history of cinema. Author of more than 40 commercial movies, in 1973 he created the term "Anticine" to name a special kind of short movies based on experiments about time and space mainly.
"Vida / Perra" is the first long movie of Aguirre's Anticine and, as far as I know and as its author says, is the first monologue in movies history. And it's simply incredible!
His wife, Esperanza Roy, is the actress of this piece of visual art made as an adaptation of Angel Vazquez's novel, whose texts are read by Esperanza "as they are". This means, the text have been extracted from the novel without changing their words.
But this is not the main peculiarity of this film. What makes it BIG, UNIQUE, UNBEATABLE, is the interpretation of Roy, different of anything you have seen, she makes you see what you can't see in the screen.
Just another kind of cinema. An essential experiment. A "must see" for lovers of film art.
