Review of El Crimen Perfecto

“Rafael González, the handsome ladies’ man played by Guillermo Toledo in the Spanish comedy “El Crimen Perfecto,” not only works at the downtown Madrid department store Yeyo’s (in the women’s clothes department, of course.). He was actually born at Yeyo’s; his mother went into labor in the store.

Born and working amidst fine clothes, fine foods and the very fine saleswomen in Yeyo’s, he has managed to shove all of life’s ugliness well out of his view. “I am an elegant person who pretends to live in an elegant world,” he says, speaking directly to the audience as he strides confidently and untouched down the crowded city streets. “Is that too much to ask?””
