Amanece, que no es poco (1989)
One of the greatest cult comedies in Spanish cinema, Amanece, que no es poco (“Dawn Is Not Little”) is a film unlike any other. Blending surrealism, absurdist humor, philosophy, and sharp social satire, it creates a world where the impossible feels strangely logical.
Initially met with mixed reactions, the film gradually became a cultural phenomenon in Spain. Today, it is regarded as a true cult classic, with generations of viewers quoting its unforgettable dialogue and celebrating its wonderfully eccentric vision.
Rather than relying on conventional comedy, the film playfully explores authority, tradition, identity, religion, and the absurdity of everyday life. It invites the audience to embrace its unique rhythm and surrender to a universe where anything can happen.
As critics have often observed, this is not a film to “figure out” but one to experience. Its wit, imagination, and fearless originality make it one of the most distinctive achievements in European comedy.
“One of the most unique cult films in the history of Spanish cinema.”
If you’re ready to leave logic at the door and enjoy cinema at its most inventive, Amanece, que no es poco offers an unforgettable—and delightfully bizarre—experience.

********************************************
Paweł is a local city, cultural and food tour guide in Kraków since 2007. Initially his knowledge about Polish films was average. But then when he discover how usefull movies are as educational tools to talk about Poland things have changed. He started to focus more on the important movies about Polish history. Then one day in November 2015 he decided to share it not only during his work as a proffesional tour guide, but also to Couchsurfing community and all culturally hungry people, this time totally for free. Since that day in 2015 Paweł joined academy of Polish films academy, attended as many lectures as possible. Constantly reads about Polish cinema and developed his true passion. At one point Paweł did even screen several Polish low-budget productions inviting people who were involved in production. But it was difficult to find movies like that regularly. If you would like to screen yours movie or movie of your friend, let me know! When after almost 90 years Poland finally got first Oscar, (We have only one small category - foreign language film) Paweł organized screening of "Ida" in cinema twice. In his opinion English subtitles well very much cenzored which ... is the key reason why this movie get oscar. Nevertheless first Paweł's impression about the event was terrible. 60 people in the hall, for many of them it was the first Polish film they will ever see, at least half of them eating chips making huge noice with their plastic packages, one person even open yoghurt, take the spoon and start to eat regular supper... Paweł though that that will be huge failer, those people probably expect an easy entertainment, American style shallow action or comedy film, but... At the end of the screening there was about 2 minutes of total silence... and then huge applause after. Paweł thinks that something very important happened that night and those emotions related made this project very valuable! Each movie is followed by Pawel's or his friend introduction. Sometimes they also screen very rare and almost impossible to find online interviews with director. Off course all materials are with English subtitles. Sometimes screening of the movie is connected with the tour in the museum or around the city if the topic is related. Integration in English & Party
