The Enchanted Forest

In Galicia, in northern Spain, Malvís, a frustrated day laborer who, fed up with his life, has become a clumsy bandit, tries to make a name for himself by robbing travelers passing through a forest inhabited by colorful characters.

Directed by José Luis Cuerda, The Enchanted Forest leans on a strong ensemble — Alfredo Landa, Tito Valverde, Alejandra Grepi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1987.
