Raúl Arévalo established himself as a quite recognizable comedy actor thanks to his participation in the genre films made by his cousin, Daniel Sánchez Arévalo. However, 8 years ago, the affable actor achieved impressive success behind the scenes with a film that won 4 Goya awardsincluding Best Film, Best New Director and Best Original Screenplay.
The film with which he did it is ‘Tarde para la ira’, a thriller with a cast led by Antonio de la Torre, Ruth Diaz, Luis Callejo and Manolo Solo. It tells the story of Curro, a man leaving prison after participating in a jewelry robbery. Eager to start a new life with his girlfriend, Ana, and his son, Curro will meet an unexpected situation and with a stranger, José, who hides a dark past.
The film, filmed in Madrid and Segovia, is a story of revengebut instead of following the usual path that many films have accustomed us to, it follows a much more patient and intelligenttelling a plot that gradually reveals its information through very well implemented script twists.
On the other hand, it manages to generate tension in different and unexpected ways, despite the fact that It only lasts 1 hour and a half. This brings us to another of the positive points, and that is that, because it is so short, it takes advantage of its length to get to the point from the beginning, establishing the conflict and the characters quickly, and then taking its time when developing them. and put them in constructed limit situations more intelligently than, for example, Hollywood is used to.
