La cabina telefonica?

[satsuma]

saw a shortish spanish film a few years ago- think it was called something like "la cabina telefonica"- it's about some bloke who gets trapped in a phone box,

anyone know what it's actually called or where i can track it down?

edit: don't worry, found it, it's called "La Cabina"

fucks sake you bunch of cunts- it's not as ifanyone is likely to see it if they haven't already- seeing as you can't fucking buy it anywhere.

and it was a bit hard to explain without giving away the ending, seeing as i didn't know the title.

cunts.

A fun little film. Giving away the ending, however, does spoil it.

Yeah, take the ending out of the original posting, please.

It's a brilliant, brilliant little film.

 

[Dubversion]

yes, satsuma, edit the post.

jesus

talking about short films featuring telephone boxes,
there's a brilliant french short film about this arab immigrant bloke, who's out of work and sits in his flat all day playing "zelda" on the nintendo gameboy,
then the electricity gets turned off, and he goes out on the street to phone up nintendo customer services from the nearest phone box, then gets into a conversation with a woman who works there, about how to solve the level where zelda goes into some castle etc. etc.- their connection gets cut because she isn't allowed to talk to customers for so long (or because he runs out of money, or both),
and unluckily for the bloke a bomb goes off and police arrives, they of course jump on him and arrest him, the phone box is on fire but the woman on the customer service are calling him back, he is happy and points at the phone: "see? that person who calls can prove my innocence! i didn't do it"
...police lift off the phone, and hears "hello khalid, i'm calling you in secret- good luck with your mission- what you need is to go into the cave of devils and get the book of the prophet, place the bomb and the guardian will be exterminated-
i wish you good luck- erm...inshallah! he he. bye"...
the end


i've wanted to track it down for a while for my ex-teacher who plans to show it to his politics class pupils, has anyone else seen it or know what it's called? i think it's from 2000 or 2001.

Great film. Scared the shit out of me as a kid, particularly the final scenes.

erm.

let's think this through.

you can't buy it anywhere, but some of us have seen it. so, bugger me, perhaps as well as a cinema release they must have shown it ON TV!

and you never know, perhaps they will again.

do you see?

after doing some googling it seems like the last time it was shown was on bb2 in the early 80's as part of a spanish short film thingy- seeing as it hasn't been shown in over 20 years (to my knowledge) i don't think it's unreasonable to assume that it won't be shown in the forseeable future- at least not while people will still remember reading this...

anyway, am trying to download it on emule- but it keeps breaking my computer

surely the longer it isn't shown, the more likely it is to be shown in the future? or something.

(probability confuses me)

Er, no.

Brando's cameo role was a bit of an eye opener too
