About The Marvellous World of the Cucu Bird
A strange love-story between a mad butcher and a young prostitute, they both inserted in a paradoxical Time structure, like Escher engravings.
Directed by Carlos Atanes, The Marvellous World of the Cucu Bird leans on a strong ensemble — José Benítez, Helena Colomé, Fernando Lázaro Carreter — 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 crime titles of 1991.
