Kamikaze is a 2014 Spanish comedy-drama film directed by Álex Pina from a screenplay by Pina and Iván Escobar which stars Álex García, Eduardo Blanco, Verónica Echegui, Carmen Machi, Leticia Dolera, Iván Massagué and Héctor Alterio.
The plot follows a suicidal bomber from a fictional country from the Caucasus who sees his plans thwarted by chance and is forced to stay in a winter resort with a group of Spaniards.
The film is an Atresmedia Cine, Cangrejo Films, and production. Shooting locations included the Aragonese Pyrenees, Madrid, and Toledo.[1]
The film screened on 24 March 2014 at the 17th Málaga Film Festival.[2] Distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures España, the film was released theatrically in Spain on 28 March 2014.
Jonathan Holland of The Hollywood Reporter deemed the feel-good movie about a suicide bomber to be a "a bizarre hybrid of genres that wants to do many things but doesn't do any of them very well".[3]
Andrea G. Bermejo of Cinemanía rated the film 2 out of 5 stars, writing that the film avoids thriller and drama, genres both "suitable" for the story the film wants to tell, opting "for an improbable tone of costumbrista comedy" instead.[4]
