Juana Acosta rounds out the trio of shifty, duplicitous women as Vanesa’s savvy lawyer and business partner.This film has been premiered in theaters in 1. Her ex-best friend and husband’s current wife Vanesa (Paula Echevarría) is just as shady – she is running a massive tax fraud scheme and will do anything to ensure she won’t go down due to her husband’s demise.
She manipulates the lovesick Julen and then starts a sexual relationship with the teenager. Leyre is no saint – the only sadness she shows over her ex-husband’s death is a few moments of over-the-top sobbing. The film really shines with its focus on bad female characters. Throw in a risqué love affair, a corrupt cop and couple of hard-hitting criminals and you have the ideal recipe for a perfect storm defined by Querejeta’s off-beat humour. Panicked, she must put her trust and safety into the lives of others namely her son’s best friend Julen (Miguel Bernardeau) who is madly in love with her, her doddering slightly-racist mother (Teresa Lozano) and an unwitting actor-cum-taxi-driver (Raúl Arévalo).
The fact that Leyre is completely out of her depth is made obvious when she loses the body of her dead husband. She goes from aspiring cupcake entrepreneur to a protective mother who will stop at nothing to ensure Asier isn’t linked to the crime. When Asier kills his father in the opening scene in a fit of rage, Leyre’s life changes. Leyre (Maribel Verdú) is a wealthy divorcee with an ex-husband (Luis Tosar) who has a distasteful disdain for their oddball son Asier (Asier Rikarte). The film grows in hectic energy with each plot twist and leaves you with your jaw on the floor as you try to process the calamity of it all. Directed by critically acclaimed director Gracia Querejeta, Crime Wave is a raucous mash of comedy and thriller, featuring countless gags, sticky situations and unbelievably bad luck.
