Paco is an actor with a nonspeaking role on a season of <em>Narcos<\/em>, and the others want to see him perform, so he creates a larger speaking role for an impromptu acting showcase at a bar.  The master-shot real-time thing, playing with performance and identity, all pretty appealing.  But just like <em>Greatest Hits<\/em> replaced Gabino&#8217;s father halfway through (one of the fathers is playing his father again here), this movie shifts modes, becoming a story created by Luisa about strangers meeting at a hotel, all the actors from the first half as different people.  It all feels minor but I was smiling the whole time.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/journal\/image21\/fauna1.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/journal\/image21\/fauna2.jpg\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m glad I gave Pereda another shot after Greatest Hits.
