The Night of the Brother (Spanish: La noche del hermano) is a 2005 Spanish drama film directed by Santiago García de Leániz (in his directorial debut feature), who also co-wrote the screenplay. It stars Jan Cornet, María Vázquez, Pablo Rivero, Iciar Bollain, Joan Dalmau, and Luis Tosar.
The plot is set in the fictional town of Fortuna. [1] Upon a brutal parental parricide committed by Álex, his younger brother Jaime must ponder over his own future (including the prospect of selling a family land plot and a budding relationship with butcher María), while the shadow cast by his brother looms in from prison. [2] [1] [3]
The film is a La Iguana and Alta Producción production. [4] It was shot in locations of the Region of Murcia. [2]
Distributed by Alta Films, [3] the film was released theatrically in Spain on 26 August 2005. [5]
Jonathan Holland of Variety assessed that the film manages to combine "subtlety and intensity into a rich, understated and well-played whole". [3]
Mirito Torreiro of Fotogramas rated the film 3 out of 5 stars writing that the helmer nails "a crime drama with perhaps a little too much hieratism in some of the characters" while otherwise appreciating the "description of the weight of the family inheritance and its extreme consistency". [5]
