Crematorio: An X-ray of corruption in contemporary Spain – A conversation with the Sánchez-Cabezudo brothers

The brothers Jorge and Alberto Sanchez-Cabezudo have a very important role in the leap in quality taken by Spanish series in the second decade of the twenty-first century. With referents such as The Sopranos (1999–2007) and The Wire (2002–08), they adapted film language and narrative style to television series with Crematorio (2011) and La Zona ( The Zone ) (2017–18). In this interview we talk specifically about Crematorio as a social and political critique of contemporary Spain.
