Synopsis
The Ferpect Crime (Crimen ferpecto, 2004) is a Spanish dark comedy directed by Álex de la Iglesia — watch it online on iFILM. Guillermo Toledo plays Rafael, the most successful salesman in a Madrid department store: impeccable hair, a string of conquests, and full confidence that the floor manager position is his. Then a scuffle with a rival ends in an accidental death. One witness saw everything. Her name is Lourdes.
Lourdes — played by Mónica Cervera — has been in love with Rafael for years and has no intention of going to the police. What she wants instead is him: dates, affection, a future. Rafael grits his teeth and plays along while plotting a way out. De la Iglesia flips the standard noir playbook — the femme fatale here is the one nobody expected, and the trap she builds is far more suffocating than anything a gangster could arrange.
Sharp, fast and genuinely funny in a pitch-black way, the film treats the department store as a perfect microcosm of status and desire. Stream The Ferpect Crime (2004) online on iFILM.
