Tenéis que venir a verla

Jonás Trueba follows his monumental study of Spanish youth, 2021’s WHO’S STOPPING US, with an unexpectedly light seriocomic miniature focusing on a very different but equally specific period in life. Friends who have fallen out of touch with each other meet up at a Chano Domínguez concert in Madrid. After the show, Guillermo (Francesco Carril) and Susana (Irene Escolar) implore their old friends Dani (Vito Sanz) and Elena (Itsaso Arana) to come visit them at their place in the country. After a six-month interval, they make the trip.
YOU HAVE TO COME AND SEE IT examines the moment when youthful restlessness and discovery begin settling into the social regimes of middle age. In just over an hour, Trueba shows the friends exploring the house, having dinner, discussing the work of philosopher Peter Sloterdijk, taking a walk and playing a fierce game of table tennis. Seemingly inspired by the semi-improvisational films of Hong Sangsoo and the reflexivity of Abbas Kiarostami, Trueba allows an ordinary day to unfold without manufactured drama. People who have made different choices in their lives simply reflect on the journey that has brought them to this moment of relative peace. (Michael Sicinski)
