The filmmaker David Trueba The film, produced by Atresmedia Cine, premiered in theaters this past November 1, ‘You know that one’, the story of the famous comedian Eugene, the one who cried while telling jokes, the one who was broken inside while making every theater and room he filled laugh out loud. Which were many and many.
But it was not always like this. No. Eugenio was not always the comedian and the broken and sad man that marks the legend of him, Eugenio was a true genius of humor and also a passionate singer of author songs (in Spanish and Catalan) that proliferated in the 70s.
So much so that he showed up with his wife. Conchita who was a surveyor and singer and who together formed the group ‘Els Dos’, to the Spanish preselection for the 1970 Eurovision with the song Lumberman’s Balladjust the year in which Julio Iglesias won to present Spain in the legendary festival with Gwendolyn.
All this and much more is told perfectly by Trueba in the biopic or biography of the comedian, which begins when Eugenio, played by the actor David Berenguermeets his wife Conchita, played by Carolina Yustein Barcelona in the 60s and they began to play together in some venues in that Barcelona that already had air and a desire for freedom.
Trueba also tells this story to her, to Conchita (and to all the Conchitas in the world and in Spain), because Conchita marks, pushes and encourages that shy Eugenio to tell his jokes in public and he gives up, silently and almost without wanting to. , to her musical career, to dedicate herself to her children, to her sick mother and to the success that her talented husband was beginning to achieve. Through the history of so many women of that time there is also this You know that one.
For all the jokes and for all the times that Eugenio said that ‘You know that diu…’ that already made people smile before starting. And all those ‘Conchitas’ who gave up on his dreams.
