Alejandro Miranda
Alejandro Miranda isn’t exactly a household name, but honestly, he’s one of those folks who’s been sneaking around some of the more interesting corners of cinema. The guy popped up in "Buried" back in 2010, which… if you haven’t seen it, let’s just say, it’s ninety minutes of pure claustrophobia and Ryan Reynolds sweating bullets in a coffin. Alejandro’s role? Not front and center, but he’s part of the machine that makes the whole thing tick—sorta like the guy at the party who doesn’t say much but somehow everyone remembers.
Skip ahead a bit, and there’s "En fin" (2024), which is a wild swing in a different direction. This film isn’t your typical popcorn flick. It’s got that indie vibe, a little rough around the edges, but with a weird charm that sticks with you. Miranda brings this quiet intensity—almost like he’s got secrets he’d never actually spill, but you can see ‘em in his eyes. The movie deals with endings (duh, it’s right there in the title), but not always the kind you’d expect. Relationships, dreams, even whole lives just kind of unravel. It’s raw, sometimes uncomfortable, but real.
And then "Murieron por encima de sus posibilidades" from 2014—man, what a title, right? This one’s a dark comedy, totally off-the-rails, poking fun at the whole mess of economic crises and social chaos. Miranda’s in the mix, blending comedy and drama like he’s been doing it forever. He doesn’t steal the show, but he’s got that “blink and you’ll miss him” energy that somehow leaves a mark. If you love films that zig when you think they’ll zag, his filmography’s worth a dive.
