Spanish Subtitles, please someone??
Anyone have the spanish subtitles for this great movie?
Could you send'em to [email protected] ??
Thanks a lot!!! :D
Is the film in English?
Go to [email protected] and ask them to work on the Apu trilogy and Sholay.
Yes, it's english spoken though it's a spanish film.
I've been looking for the spanish subs, too, but no luck.
That's peculiar. I don't believe that such were ever officially released. My Spanish is quite rusty (haven't practiced), but I'd imagine that your best bet would be to check to see if there are some floating around fansites and things like that. If you're just looking for the film itself, DVDs evidently from Brazil, kick around, NTSC region free I believe, for perfectly reasonable prices, but the only subtitles are Brazilian Portugese, I think. Unless I'm much mistaken, however, said disc is not a bootleg. For what it's worth, your English is quite good; where're you from?

I'm a bit confused about how this is a "Spanish" film. I realized it has a Spanish director, but it has an American cast and was filmed in Los Angeles and New York as well as Spain.
All the dialogue is in English. Perhaps it may have had Spanish subtitles if it played in a Spanish-speaking market, but does having a Spanish-speaking director necessarily make this a "Spanish" film?
Of course, it has a Spanish title, so I could be wrong. And now you say the subtitles were in Brazilian Portuguese, so I'm even more confused. But I just heard a scream coming from the lobby, so now I'm frightened in addition to confused.

Not sure if a reply 8 years later is worth it :-)
"Anguish" was actually filmed in Barcelona. Bigas was trying to enter the American market though, hence why he shot it in English, made it look like Los Angeles and chose American actors for two of the main roles although most of the cast was Spanish.
I'd say the film has an unequivocal American-Thriller flavour to it.
Fantastic story and style. I love Bigas' creativity, even if "Anguish" is not as personal as the rest of his filmography.
Le beau est bizarre share
It is indeed worth a reply, and I am still around! Thanks very much for the explanation.
This indeed does feel like an Americanized horror/thriller geared toward U.S. audiences, with a bit of Spanish loopiness thrown in to blow the audience's mind. It is unfortunate this film is so obscure here. I had never heard of it before I found it in the VHS bins almost a decade ago, and few film buffs here seem aware of it. It certainly has "cult" potential with the very weird and very fascinating stories taking place on the screen and off in the "audience."
Have you seen many of Bigas' other films, and which do you recommend? This is the only work of his I've seen, but I would love to seek out more.
No worries mate ^^
I've seen most of his filmography; BL is one of my favourite directors. In my humble opinion it was him together with Eloy de la Iglesia, Almodovar and Alex de la Iglesia who fueled the best and most personal wave of Spanish cinema to date. Many others have contributed (and still do) fantastic films to the Spanish Pantheon, but not ever so consistently.
BL's remaining films are not as accessible as Anguish. Depending on what you like and how well you know Spanish language and culture you can find them really interesting or a blinking bore that makes no sense. I can slice it up for you in four pairs:
1)
Bilbao & Caniche - early work. Dark, sordid, full of detail and symbolism for the keen viewer. Little artistic touches (i.e. Bilbao's demise) go hand in hand with ugly daily-life grit. Two of my favourites.
2)
Jamon Jamon & Huevos de Oro - very "Iberian". Surreal comical moments, performers like J Bardem and Penelope Cruz in their first rules. Good fun if you watch them with an open mind.
3)
Son de Mar & la Teta y la Luna - oniric; first one is an outstanding love story. Watch it with your gf if she's into foreign films. Second one is... no idea how to describe it, but definitely worth a watch!
4)
Bambola & las Edades de Lulu - erotic/disturbing at times! first one feels very Italian. I didn't enjoy them as much as the others, but they pack fantastic scenes that make them worth a watch.
There's also Volaverunt, La Camarera del Titanic and a few more. None of them were to my liking.

Thanks very much for the recommendations! I will check out a few of those and see where I go from there.
shareWell, thanks for the compliment, but my english is not that good hehe xDD
I have two versions of "Angustia" (downloaded by emule), one with spanish audio, the other with english audio but no subtitles found :(
And I hate watching foreign movies with dubbed audio ¬¬
I like to listen the real voices of the actors :)
I'm working translating one brazilian subtitle i've found (brazilian and spanish are not too different), and helping me hearing both audios, spanish and english, but i go to slow, lots of dialog lines :P
By the way, I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina!
Thanks all for responding my message and try to help :))!!
