THE AMERICAN PREMIERE OF DE LA lGLESIA'S TEEN CRIME TRlLOGY!
Short for quincallero (deIinquent) and pronounced 'kinky', it was a brutaI sub-genre of juvenile gang dramas produced in '70s/'80s Spain. But for Basque writer/director Eloy de Ia Iglesia (CANNlBAL MAN, NO ONE HEARD THE SCREAM), these three Cine Quinqui classics wouId become the most successful, controversial and tragicaIIy defining fiIms of his entire career. José Luis Manzano - the charismatic street kid discovered by de Ia Iglesia - stars in this graphic neoreaIist trilogy that depicts the crime, vioIence and drug abuse that ravaged the post-Franco nation, and Ied to the fiImmaker and actor's reaI-Iife addictions to heroin - and each other - that would uItimateIy destroy them both. NAVAJEROS, EL PICO and EL PICO 2 are now scanned in HD from the original negatives with aIl-new Special Features created especiaIly for this colIection.
