Álex de la Iglesia's 1991 short film MIRINDAS ASESINAS

De la Iglesia, who turns 49 today, is one of the most interesting talents working in genre film today, and if you haven't seen DAY OF THE BEAST, ACCION MUTANTE, PERDITA DURANGO, EL CRIMEN PERFECTO or THE LAST CIRCUS yet -- well, what the hell are you waiting for?  His first project, however, was this creepy, yet typically tongue-in-cheek, short film about a man at a bar.  While there doesn't seem to be a version with subtitles online and the dialogue is in Spanish, there's so few words spoken and the short's strong point is mostly in tone rather than words, and it shouldn't be too hard to follow the plot.
