Synopsis
My Big Night (Mi gran noche, 2015) is a Spanish dark comedy by Álex de la Iglesia that you can watch online on iFILM. The setup: a TV crew is taping a lavish New Year's Eve special in October, somewhere outside Madrid — hundreds of extras locked in a giant studio for days, performing synthetic joy on cue while the real world spins out of control just beyond the doors.
Several disasters run in parallel. Pop star Adán (Mario Casas) is being blackmailed by a deranged fan. Legendary crooner Alfonso — played by Raphael, the actual Spanish icon, playing himself — is being hunted by a furious songwriter with a gun. An extra named José keeps trying to flirt with the woman next to him and keeps getting hit by falling equipment. Meanwhile, an angry mob gathers outside demanding the producer's head. Carmen Machi, Blanca Suárez, Hugo Silva and Santiago Segura each pilot their own subplot into the same spectacular wreck.
De la Iglesia at his loosest and funniest — this is broad farce about the entertainment industry's machinery, shot with genuine affection for its ridiculous cast of characters. Stream My Big Night (2015) online on iFILM.
