'A House On Fire' becomes most-watched Catalan film of the decade in Catalonia
Dani de la Orden's dramatic comedy surpasses internationally acclaimed 'Alcarràs'
'A House On Fire', also known by its Catalan title 'Casa en flames', has become the most-watched Catalan-language film of the decade in Catalonia.
The movie, directed by Catalan Dani de la Orden, has been viewed by more than 270,000 people, according to ComScore data.
After ten weeks in cinemas, the film has surpassed the internationally acclaimed 'Alcarràs', which won the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival in 2022.
'Casa en flames' is the latest film from Dani de la Orden, a dramatic comedy that explores the reunion of a middle-class Catalan family over a weekend on the Costa Brava.
Emma Vilarasau leads the cast, which also includes Enric Auquer, Clara Segura, Alberto San Juan, Maria Rodríguez-Soto and Macarena García.
In an interview with the Catalan News Agency (ACN), the director explained that the movie reflects on the idea of "loving badly" and the rejection of the people that we are closer to, such as partners or family.
