A real estate agent finds $15 million in a dead man’s apartment, and begins to dream of a luxurious life. However, the neighbors are already well aware of the money and have their own plans for how to spend it.
Beginning as positively Hitchcockian in both premise and Saul Bass-inspired opening credits, Common Wealth is an altogether more surprising dark comedy from Álex de la Iglesia. Bloody slapstick, a showdown across Madrid rooftops, and a Darth Vader mask-wearing pervert: this film has it all.
