I DON'T EXPECT ANYONE TO BELIEVE ME
A film by Fernando Frías
(Mexico/Spain, 2023, 117 min. In Spanish and English with English subtitles)Mexican director Frías (I’m No Longer Here) is an engrossing dark comedy, based on the novel by acclaimed writer Juan Pablo Villalobos. Starring Darío Yazbek (Pet Shop Days) and Natalia Solián (Huesera: The Bone Woman), the film follows Juan Pablo and his girlfriend, Valentina, as they embark on a journey to Barcelona, where he plans on getting his PhD. Things take increasingly absurd and sinister turns when Juan Pablo becomes entangled in a criminal network, which ultimately inspires him to write the novel he always dreamed of. The New York Times praised this “wonderfully entertaining . . . modern, noir-infused twist on Surrealist literature and cinema.”
