This award-winning crime drama reflects Carlos Saura"s (Cria!, Peppermint Frappe) move from nonlinear narratives--which meshed fact and fantasy freely--to an almost documentary-like realism. For this fast-paced look at juvenile delinquency in Madrid, the Spanish director recruited nonprofessional actors from the slums. A sensation was caused when two of the film"s stars were arrested for separate criminal offenses. In the gritty tale, three young crooks team up with a sharp-shooter waitress who also has an affair with one of the gang. When a robbery turns deadly, their plans for easy money spiral into disaster. An engrossing, non-moralistic vision, Deprisa, Deprisa presents an urban wasteland where drugs and fast cars remain the ultimate achievement.
