A Hipster in Rural Spain[1] (Spanish: Un hipster en la España vacía) is a 2024 comedy film directed by Emilio Martínez Lázaro, with a screenplay by Daniel Castro based on the satirical book by Daniel Gascón. It stars Lalo Tenorio, Berta Vázquez, Macarena García, and Paco León.
Plot[edit]
Naïve political activist Quique is sent from the city to a small village in the province of Teruel by his party leader to develop some workshops and sustainable crops as a part of a ruse so the leader could secretly spend time with Quique's girlfriend Lina. Quique initially finds little to no acceptance to his modern political agenda among the reluctant rural folks, with only tavern keeper Lourdes offering him some help.[2][3]

Reception[edit]
Cynthia Serna Box of Infobae assessed that "everything in Martínez-Lázaro's feature film is outdated: its premise, the performances and even the love story between Tenorio and Vázquez".[9]
Raquel Hernández Luján of HobbyConsolas rated the film with 45 points ('bad'), considering that the comedy film "leaves much to be desired", negatively mentioning the "rather lazy" writing, the lack of chemistry, the absence of internal tempo in the narrative, and [the] few laughs.[3]
Irene Crespo of Cinemanía rated the film 2½ out of 5 stars, deeming it to be "a formulaic and industry comedy that manages to find some good gag".[10]
