El pez que fuma / The Smoking Fish (Román Chalbaud, 1978) 120’
Probably the most famous film within Venezuelan cinematography: A sort of coat-of-arms of the Chalbaudian universe, and also the fruit of his theatrical background, the film displays a remarkable expressive maturity, evidenced by a míse-en-scène with Fellinesque trimmings, an excellent control of the narrative tempo and a rounded, passionate script that creates a wonderful parable about power and its fleeting expressions, through the characters and activities at a famous brothel in La Guaira.
