El escritor de un país sin librerías's reviews
Media reviews
El Periódico
The movie approaches the character (and his books) and, with him, a society still influenced by the colonial processes. Of a teaching profile, the movie combines real footage shot in the actual Equatorial Guinea with archive footage.
El País
The dissident voices or the rap interwine in a documentary that also supports on cartoons. The movie doesn't not only reveals the indifference of Spain to its former colony, but the indecent luxury of the Obiang family (billionaire thanks to the gas) and its friends, away from the poverty of a country without infrastructures where, as Ávila Laurel writes, the men fish in small canoes whose wood will turn into their own coffins.
Cinemanía
'El escritor de un país sin librerías' is a movie with a value by itself, even though the articulation and the care in certain landscapes (that colorful animation and naïve work really well with Juan Tomás' literature) don't match with how hurried are other proposals of the scene.
