New Showbiz Analysis

Lucio (2007) is a biographical documentary that highlights the life of an anarchist who challenged global financial institutions. The film presents a narrative that critiques established power structures and capitalist hegemony. By linking Spanish anarchism to international racial justice movements, the film provides a broader historical context. However, the film's narrow focus on a single male protagonist results in a lack of gender diversity and no visible representation of LGBTQ+ identities.

Official Synopsis

There are plenty of anarchists in the world. Many have committed robbery or smuggling for their cause. Fewer have discussed strategies with Che Guevara or saved the skin of Eldridge Cleaver, the leader of the Black Panthers. There is only one who has done all that, and also brought to its knees the most powerful bank on the planet by forging travellers cheques, without missing a single day of work in his construction job. He is Lucio Urtubia, from a tiny village in Navarra in North of Spain. Lucio, 75, now lives in Paris, still raising anarchist hell.
