TVC E. A Spanish film that depicts a shooting in a Madrid bar explores how people react in extreme situations – a scenario that is a reality in Europe as militants have staged attacks in Paris and other places.
“El Bar”, directed by Alex de la Iglesia and screened at the Berlin Film Festival on Wednesday, shows a man being gunned down as he leaves a bar and another man who goes to help also being shot.
“If you’re confronting death, your very basic instincts are aroused and in this film it’s really about survival for all of us,” said Blanca Suarez, who plays one of the bar’s customers.
