Overview
- Santiago Segura returns after a 12‑year pause with the sixth Torrente film, a 102‑minute satire he wrote, directed, produced, and stars in.
- Reviews report a runaway opening in Spain, with Ámbito noting it earned about twenty times the box office of Pedro Almodóvar’s latest release.
- The plot follows advisers from a fictional ultraright party called Nox who recruit Torrente, whose crude crowd‑pleasing speeches fuel a rapid political rise.
- The film fires jokes across Spain’s political map and reaches abroad, with Argentine outlets highlighting a spoof of President Javier Milei and nods to Donald Trump.
- Cameos and shock humor are central, including Mariano Rajoy appearing as himself, while critics weigh whether the grotesque style challenges or normalizes extremist talk.
