Goodbye from the Heart (Spanish; Castilian: '''Adiós con el corazón'''|links=no) is a 2000 Spanish comedy film directed by José Luis García Sánchez and written by García Sánchez and Rafael Azcona. It stars Juan Luis Galiardo, with Laura Ramos, Jesús Bonilla, and Neus Asensi in supporting roles.
Women still find middle-aged rogue Juan alluring. Upon the inrush of Juan's purported daughter Caty (an athlete from Cuba), and the rejection by his last "love conquest" Paulina, Juan blackmails the latter's husband Pozueta, a corrupt businessman.[1]
The film is an Alma Ata International Pictures, Galiardo Producciones, Gaila and Rafael Azcona production, with the participation of Antena 3 and Canal+.[2]
The film was presented at the 3rd Málaga Film Festival in May 2000. Distributed by Alta Films, it was released theatrically in Spain on 7 July 2000.
Casimiro Torreiro of El País wrote that the film "can boast of a solid script, deliver intelligence, humor, tenderness and bad blood".[3]
Jonathan Holland of Variety wrote that, although "pleasant enough in a gentle, rambling way", the film "shows the formula [of García Sánchez] wearing thin.".[4]
