'El Crimen Perfecto' is a Wickedly Funny Black Comedy!

"THE PERFECT CRIME"(2004)
("El Crimen Perfecto," in Spanish with English subtitles)

Rafael (Guillermo Toledo), a young, dashing and urbane manager of the women's section in a downtown Spanish department store is on top of the world. He is single, well paid, and he staffs his department with comely salesgirls who are more than happy to work for him after hours as well.

Suddenly the world turns upside down when he loses his managerial position to a rival who promptly proceeds to fire him. A later altercation between the two men in a dressing room results in the accidental death of the rival. Staying late at the store that night to dispose of the body, he is shocked when it suddenly disappears.

His confusion at the disappearance of the corpse turns into a nightmare when it turns out that there was a witness to the accidental murder. Lourdes (Mónica Cervera), a plain, mean-spirited fellow employee contemptuous of her far more beautiful rivals in his department, steps forward to help him to dispose of the body and to control his life forever after by blackmail.

In one short week Rafael's life turns from heavenly into a living hell. Grade: A-, Recommended? Yes, this is one wickedly funny black comedy par excellence!
