Why watch this film?
This Spanish sci-fi dystopian is a great parable of our society, perhaps a bit simplistic and straightforward, but very direct in its ideas and violence. In a line similar to Bong Joon-ho's 'Snowpiercer' (director of 'Parasite'), 'El hoyo' makes the premise and design of its production a visual metaphor for the organization of social classes, society and economic inequality. Debut director Galder Gaztelu-Urrutia - along with his screenwriters David Desola (writer of 'Almacenados') and Pedro Rivero (director of 'Psiconautas, The Forgotten Children') - explore the resentments generated by these social differences. The film was awarded at the Toronto International Film Festival, the Goya Awards and was voted best film at the Sitges Festival.
