Scandalous / ¿Por qué se frotan las patitas? Series: Spanish Cinema Now Director: Alvaro Begines, Country: Spain, Release: 2006, Runtime: 104 An outrageous, very contemporary musical comedy, Scandalous is the first feature by Alvaro Begines, a founding member of the comedy troupe “Don’t Step on Me Because I’m Wearing Sandals.” In one day, Luis (Antonio Dechent) loses all the women in his life. His wife, feeling unappreciated, leaves, eventually finding herself in a Buddhist monastery. His daughter decides to test her boyfriend’s love for her, while his mother (Lola Herrera, one of the great divas of the Spanish stage) hooks up with a couple of squatters. After his own efforts to track them down fail, Luis calls in the services of a rather singular detective who goes by the auspicious name Manolete (Manuel Morón). The often madcap action is punctuated by song, which the characters lip-synch with great intensity. Scandalous is a rousing good time, with some pointed observations about family, love and sex in today’s Spain.
