In 1993 De La Iglesia received a big break when Spain's most famous director, Pedro Almodóvar, produced his debut feature Accion mutante (Mutant Action). The next step he took was The Day Of The Beast (1995). It won 6 Goya's, the Best Director award amongst them. Back in Spain, Iglesia had success with 'La Comunidad' (2000) 15 Goya nominations, won 3 (a dark comedy/thriller set in an apartment block with a money scamble); 'Crimen ferpecto' (2004), again a dark comedy thriller with a man aspiring to perfection, winning 6 Goya's as a result. All these films have the recipe of dark humour, selfish aspirational characters, and very sexy situations.
He is a director with critic see over the society, but in the films, he show also good mood and a big to use of the irony for describe the carácter and the story line. I like Alex de la Iglesia, because he configure characters to look like with the people in the real life.
