November (2003): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2003, November is a comedy, thriller and drama film directed by Achero Mañas, running about 104 minutes. “Shut down the theaters, the performance has hit the streets!” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Impelled by a spirit which still preserves a patina of idealism, Alfredo arrives to Madrid with the intention to create "a performance that is free, straight from the heart, capable of making people feel alive". His concept of what acting should be begins beyond the stage, out in the streets face to face with the public. Outdoors, in any town square, in a park or in the city's most commercial street, Alfredo and his troupe November start the show; demons to provoke passers-by, displays of social conscience, actions taken to the extreme to put the forces of law and order on full alert. There are no limits, no censorship; only ideas which are always valid so long as the public ceases to be the public and becomes part of the show swept by surprise, fear, tears or laughter. Theater as life, life as theater… there is no longer any difference.

Who’s in it. November stars Óscar Jaenada as Alfredo, Ingrid Rubio as Lucía, Javier Ríos as Juan and Juan Díaz as Daniel, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 7.0/10, November has been warmly received by audiences. It went on to earn $959.8K at the box office.
