20 Centímetros
(Spain/France, 2005, 114 minutes)
A narcoleptic transvestite saving up for a sex-change operation dreams herself in elaborate musical production numbers to make up for the misery of her daily life. Colourful, off-centred melodrama that looks like something Pedro Almodóvar might have dreamt up but, despite a game cast, lacks his wit and talent; that said, not badly done, with good technical credits.
A Warner-Sogefilms release. Aligator Producciones, Picasso Estudios, Jet Films and Divine Productions present in association with Telecinco and TV3 a Carlos Batres/José María Calleja/Iker Monfort/María J. Poblador production. Starring Mónica Cervera, Pablo Puyol, Miguel O’Dogherty, Concha Galán, Pilar Bardem, Rossy de Palma, Lola Dueñas, Juan Sanz, Najwa Nimri. Directed and written by Ramón Salazar; musical directors, Pascal Gaigne and Najwa Nimri; director of photography, Ricardo de Gracia; production designer, Alejandro Prieto Barral; costume designers, Alejandro Prieto Barral and Estibaliz Markiegi; film editor, Teresa Font; choreographers, Chevy Muraday and Eva Moreno.
