Review of Malaka

Malaka (2019)
2/10
Incoherent, incomprehensible and pointless
29 April 2023
This series from Spain unfolds in the most incoherent manner. The first episode consists of a series of characters participating in events for which no context is provided. More of the same occurs in the second episode. It's as if many different scenes are shot, put in a jar, then selected randomly and edited in a completely non-linear manner. Try as one might, it's impossible to get any clarity or continuity as a viewer. The timelines are all over the place, and since the scenes do not always follow one another sequentially, the story becomes an incoherent mess. This is not helped with barely audible dialogue and actors delivering their lines in gasping, breathless monotones. What many of them hope to pass off as acting, is just a lot of shouting, baring their teeth and a variety of facial grimacing. This must have been a very low budget production.
