“Luger” Gears Up for Blu-ray Release and Final Cinema Run
Fans of gritty thrillers are in for a treat as Bruno Martín’s directorial debut, “Luger,” is set to hit Blu-ray in Spain this May. Ediciones 79 is releasing a limited collector’s edition packed with extras, including a comprehensive making-of documentary and the Goya-nominated short film “Ángulo muerto” by Cristian Beteta.
A Final Chance to See “Luger” on the Big Screen
Before the Blu-ray arrives, audiences have one last opportunity to experience “Luger” in cinemas. The film will be screened at the Cines Verdi in Barcelona tomorrow, Saturday, February 7th, at 10:30 PM. This special showing will feature director Bruno Martín and actor Mario Mayo, alongside a screening of Ignacio Malagón’s short film “Sarcum,” with Malagón himself in attendance. The event will be hosted by actress Mónica López.
What’s “Luger” About?
“Luger” follows Rafa (David Sainz) and Toni (Mario Mayo), two hustlers working for a morally flexible lawyer, Ángela (Ana Turpin). Their latest assignment – recovering a stolen car – quickly spirals into something far more dangerous when they discover a valuable World War II relic hidden in the trunk: a coveted Luger P08 pistol. The search for the pistol plunges them into a violent world within the Santos 117 industrial park.
Critical Acclaim and Festival Success
The film has already garnered significant attention, having premiered at the Sitges Film Festival and receiving accolades at Fantastic Fest and Isla Calavera. “Luger” is currently touring select cinemas across Spain.
A Unique Take on the Thriller Genre
“Luger” distinguishes itself with its raw, direct approach, blending violence, dark humor, and a generational perspective on precarity, and frustration. The film’s creators, Bruno Martín and Mario Mayo, previously collaborated on “Os reviento,” also released by Ediciones 79. The narrative deliberately avoids predictable genre tropes, forging its own distinct identity.
Mario Mayo: From “La Casa de Papel” to “Luger”
Starring Mario Mayo, known for his role in the popular series “La Casa de Papel” (Money Heist), and David Sainz, the creator and star of “Malviviendo,” “Luger” promises a compelling and intense cinematic experience.
