Cult Spanish filmmaker Alex de la Iglesia, whose style has been said to combine those of his countrymen Pedro Almodovar and Guillermo del Toro, directs the satiric science-fiction epic ACCION MUTANTE (MUTANT ACTION). In the near future, society is divided between the rich and beautiful and the ugly and poverty-stricken. Ramon Yarritu, the leader of the terrorist organization Mutant Action, has recently been released from prison. Angered by the failures of the organization in his absence, he immediately launches a plot to kidnap Patricia, the lovely daughter of a wealthy bread mogul. But when the plot goes wrong, Patricia and Ramon end up crashing on the planet Axturiax, and have to look to each other for survival. ACCION MUTANTE is an over-the-top sci-fi comedy that takes a satiric look at the obsession with celebrity and appearance. [More]
