The late ‘90s also gave way to Tontipop (“dumb pop”), a short lived wave of bubbly, satirical pop that harkened back to La Movida’s unruly heyday, now amplified by the advent of the Internet. In the ‘90s, pop star worship came into vogue, with Marta Sánchez, Mónica Naranjo, Miguel Bosé, and a post-Mecano Ana Torroja securing constant radio play, stadium tours, and TV appearances that brought them into households across the Spanish-speaking world. Spanish rock and pop flourished throughout the following decade, thrusting scrappy homegrown bands like Mecano, Hombres G, and Radio Futura onto the international stage. The film showcased the wild makeup and hairstyles of the day, and was soundtracked by Spanish new wave and post-punk, even featuring a cameo performance by Alaska of the band Alaska y Los Pegamoides (later the voice of campy disco icons Alaska y Dinarama and Fangoria). Legendary film director Pedro Almodóvar was a force at the center of the storm, capturing the social rebelliousness of late ‘70s Spain in his first feature Pepi, Luci, Bom y Otras Chicas del Montón. La Movida, as it is commonly referred to, ushered in a new social language women shirked demure modesty, and LGBTQ+ people could finally come out of hiding.
Soaking up music and fashion trends from their European neighbors and the UK, as well as the United States, they kicked off a raucous golden age of punk rock, disco hedonism, and queer dissidence called La Movida Madrileña (The Madrid Movement).
Every episode was full of adrenaline hoping everything will just turn out okay in the end.In the mid ‘70s, with the decline of Francisco Franco’s bloody and oppressive dictatorship, young people in Spain sensed a loosening of cultural chains. The story isn’t original as it’s a remake, in all honesty this is one of the first remake I can say was better than the original, I might seem biased as I watched the remake before the original, but I’ve done that to a few shows and always Felt the original was best. Rewatch Value 8.5 “Call me mother” or just “mother” for short is an emotional rollercoaster from start to finish, the whole of 2018 so far was me waiting for the next episode every week, I’ve been so invested in both the story and characters.
