Alex Angulo dies in car accident the year of his film about a political kidnapping
What does an actor's death have to do with the kidnapping of a politician? In Alex Angulo's case, the coincidence invites thoughts of a macabre script. The actor died in a car accident the same year he starred in 'Justi&Cia', a film in which a group kidnaps and tortures a politician. Chance, or fate, decreed that his last major role would coincide with his final farewell.
The official version and the shadows
The details of the accident are scarce. The news has spread through the film world's rumour mill, and alongside the condolences, rumours are circulating of a possible overdose, though nothing has been confirmed. As often happens when a public figure disappears suddenly, the official version leaves a residue of scepticism that no one dares to voice. But the facts are stubborn: Alex Angulo is gone.
Justi&Cia, the uncomfortable film
'Justi&Cia' (2014) would have gone unnoticed were it not for its plot: the kidnapping and torture of a politician. With the actor's death, the film takes on an inevitable second meaning. It is not the first time reality has crept onto the film set, but this time it did so without warning.
And with that image burned into the retina, the question remains in the air: was it all a simple coincidence, or the worst possible ending to a film no one wanted to shoot?
