Disability in Spanish Film


Acción mutante Álex de la Iglesia, 1993
As I promised here you are another example of the crip theme in Spanish films, now to introduce a film by Álex de la Iglesia, who shares with me two privileges, being born in Bilbao and having attended the classes of professor Andrés Ortiz-Osés at the Deusto University in Bilbao.

Bilbao, 2012. World has surrendered to the imperium of bratz kids, poshy girls and beauty adoration. Just “Acción mutante” a bunch of disabled terrorists leaded by Ramón Yarritu strike against the system. Determined to make the greatest hit of their criminal career, they kidnap the sheltered daughter of dietetic emporium owner Mr. Orujo at her wedding. When they are about to retrieve the ramsom everything goes awry............
