The story takes place in Madrid , 2016 Christmas , altogether restricted in one night , during the never-ending TV taping for a New Year's Eve program. Then , botcher Jose (Pepon Nieto) is called in just as his sister is en route to an abroad journey and he has to take care of his mummy (Terele Pavez) . José is sitting next to other guests as Yanire ( Ana Polvorosa) , Josua (Luis Fernández) , Antonio (Luis Fernández) and the gorgeous as well as goofy Paloma (Blanca Suárez) who unexpectedly falls for him . Then , José is warned by his partners she's some kind of a jinx . Meantime , teen idol Adanne (Mario Casas) takes on the jealous as well as veteran star singer Alphonso (Raphael) , a super divo who is harassing his helper Yuri (Carlos Areces) . At the end all of them clash and eventually explode out into a bustling confrontation each other .
De la Iglesia's bewildering comedy ¨My gran noche¨ about a TV broadcasting programme , it blends intriguing elements with humor , tongue-in-cheek and thrills ; so, the tone of the film is light-hearted as well as stirring . The movie is developed in a marvelous crescendo that turns into rapidly the situation from a fun party into a bloody battleground that reveals the surprising as well as busy aspects , top-shelf comedic flair and naturalistic theatrics . A wonderful and talented plethora of actors, the mainstays of current Spanish cinema, implements a totally noisy comedy interspersed with songs and dances perfectly choreographied . The picture pays tribute a great Singer : Rafael , he plays splendidly an old singer called Alfonso . Alphonso's songs are real themes sang by Raphael, including the own title of the movie. Rafael has a long singing career from more than forty years ago , acting around the world , European and Eastern countries , Russia , the United States : Miami and New York's Carnegie Hall . He played a lot of successful films such as : Volveré a nacer , Sin un adiós , Al ponerse el sol , Cuando tú no estas , El ángel , El golfo . Last years he had an extreme illness , after recovering from a liver transplant early this year, Raphael has recorded a new album, "Raphael, de vuelta" ("Raphael is back") and will go on a world tour, starting in Madrid (Spain) on september 25, that will take him, among other places, to Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, and Panamá.
It packs an adequate and moving musical score by Joán Valent . And a colorful and appropriate cinematography by Ángel Amorós . The motion picture was well written (along with his usual screenwriter Jorge Guerricaechevarría) and directed by De La Iglesia , though results to be inferior than his former films , including some flaws and gaps . De La Iglesia is well known as the Spanish king of black comedy . He's a cool director has got much success as ¨Accion Mutante¨ ,¨Dying of laughter¨ or ¨Muertos De Risa¨ , ¨Baby's room¨ , ¨Oxford murders¨ , ¨Balada Triste De Una Trompeta¨ and ¨Perdita Durango¨ is probably the weirdest Javier Bardem film ever made . And , of course , ¨Day of the beast¨ and ¨La Comunidad¨ obtained the unanimous praise of both the critics and the public and result to be a lot of fun¨, especially for those who enjoy surrealist humor , they won several Goya prizes and and resulted to be a turning point in his meteoric career ; from then on he became his own producer, beginning with '800 bullets' (2002) through the Pánico Films company . Winner of several Goyas (Spanish Oscars), however his movies have not yet reached box office in USA, but he has strong followers , as his films have a kind of comic edge to them . Nonsense, ridicule , laughters , absurdity , disturbing scenes and many other issues ; you can find everything in this flick . ¨My Big Night ¨ captures the essence of the best Alex De La Iglesia, a filmmaker who, at this point in his own story, is respected and admired worldwide and has the most committed fans in the film universe . This is without a doubt an enjoyable movie to be enjoyed for comedy buffs and Alex De Iglesia fans .
