Bombon (El Perro)

Even with the designated start of 18:30, both late and early enough for all concerned, people still file into the dark of the Dendy Opera Quays. With a film like Bombon, reading subtitles against and through silhouettes of stragglers proves trying, challenging.

Raggedy faces and textured creases introduce characters within seconds. Bombon is a film better served without a couple continually laughing through their clenched teeth. With a doubt charming, there's a fragility that makes for compelling viewing.
