Synopsis

Impelled by a spirit which still preserves a patina of idealism, Alfredo arrives to Madrid with the intention to create "a performance that is free, straight from the heart, capable of making people feel alive". His concept of what acting should be begins beyond the stage, out in the streets face to face with the public. Outdoors, in any town square, in a park or in the city's most commercial street, Alfredo and his troupe November start the show; demons to provoke passers-by, displays of social conscience, actions taken to the extreme to put the forces of law and order on full alert. There are no limits, no censorship; only ideas which are always valid so long as the public ceases to be the public and becomes part of the show swept by surprise, fear, tears or laughter. Theater as life, life as theater… there is no longer any difference.

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
willman85 I have zero interest in street theater, guerilla or otherwise, and so I found the movie to be unengaging, dull and uninspiring to no end. That's not to say the movie was very badly made however, it seemed basically okay in that department I guess. But it was a real slog to get through, and there was little in it to pique interest. There's not much to shout about other than the message. It is the kind of movie that documents events that happens, rather than tells a dramatic story. As such, it feels too linear, and it plods along at a stultifyingly slow pace. The plot isn't very interesting, not to me anyway.
yunusmelih they wanted to change the world.did they? by this film i clearly understand that believing something or to have a hope is more vital than to accomplish it.to believe is the first and last thing in any of the story.since everyone exists in this story no matter who is actor who is watching.maybe meaning of the life is to understand that believing and challenging for any idea or a belief.death is the only perfect stage for Alfredo and actually for all of us. And no matter when it comes.Alfroda i saw,you change the world.sleep in peace. yes,finally all of us will die?will we? i believe in you i believe in we i believe in la ilahe illallah.
star-lists Just caught this on HBO-Latino. My Spanish is very limited so I couldn't understand that much either. But I don't think it's helpful to say it's "definitely an artsy masturbation job". I would urge readers to pay more attention to the fact that 150 people gave it a vote of 8 out of 10. Even the 1st reviewer gave it an 8. SEE THIS FILM! I thought it was very provocative -- an indie that deserves the name in the best of the tradition. Even if it is pretentious or self-important, or whatever 'artsy masturbation' means, this film goes well outside the dull, predictable, mainstream -- at least in its ambition if not farther. But not in a Warhol kind of way. It had something to say. Perhaps the message was, as Ben Harper sings, "You have to fight, Fight, FIGHT.......for your mind", i.e., fight conformism, fight indoctrination, fight regimentation, fight bourgeois control of the mind space. And enjoy the freedom you obtain thereby.Just my $0.02
Harry T. Yung SpoilersNoviember is quite a unique piece of work that I caught in the 'Euro Vision' festival in town. Very much like Into the Void, in documentary form, the story is told by alternating between the main story line and the interview-type narration of the characters some years later (about a half dozen of them compared with 2 in Into the Void). But hang on for a second……..these character are not real! The story is entirely fictional, but made to look like a documentary.The story starts with young actor Alfredo arriving in Madrid for adventure in the late 90s (which makes the 'now' in the movie somewhere in the 2030s or 2040s, guessing from the age of the 'real' characters interviewed). There, he meets Lucia who soon becomes his wife. When discussing their initial motivation for acting, Alfred intimates that it's to a large extent out of love for his wheelchair-confined brother, from both physical handicap and mental disorder. Lucia, on the other hand, attributes it to sibling rivalry, kind of the 'Baby Jane' syndrome.Together with a group of friends who share the same passion for acting, the two embark on their venture. The unique thing is that in their vision to bring the theatre to the public, they shun any indoor performance venue which would imply an admission ticket. They do all their performances outdoors, right in the streets, and they steadfastly refuse to accept any money for their performances. The movie follows this group's performances which are presented in pseudo-documentary style, complete with fictitious dates, in the streets of Madrid, culminating in a unexpected and quite devastating ending. Between hilarity and poignancy, and everything in between, this movie has a great deal to offer. A fascinating movie, particularly if you love performing arts. It won the FIPRESCI prize in the 2003 Toronto International Film Festival.
