While it was released just a week ago, a Spanish film is a hit on Netflix. If it has already climbed into the top 10 in France and in many countries, it annoys some Internet users because of a detail that you surely did not notice.
The copy was almost perfect. Released February 3, 2023, Infiesto took only a handful of days to integrate the top of the platform’s most viewed films. But if this Spanish detective film enchants most viewers, some subscribers have noted a detail that particularly annoys them. The story ofInfiesto takes place in full containment. In March 2020, the Spaniards are completely cloistered at home. It was then that a young girl who had been missing for three months reappeared. She was obviously kidnapped. Police officers Samuel Garcia and Marta Castro are put on the spot. While the city is in hiding, these police officers must shed light on what happened to him. They will discover a history of sects that goes much further than they could imagine.
A quack in the accent
Yes, but there you go, something is wrong. While the film is supposed to take place in the principality of Asturias, one of the Spanish autonomous communities where the real town of Infiesto is located, Iberian Netflix subscribers have noted an embarrassing detail, and not the least. The actors who play in the series, in the first place Isak Férriz and Iria del Río, do not come from this community. So they don’t have the accent. “I’m tired of seeing that in the films that take place in Asturias, they put a Galician accent [de Galice, une communauté autonome mitoyenne, NDLR]. It’s a shame. If you don’t know how to make a movie, don’t. Hire Asturian actors or hire me to give you accent lessons”, wrote a surfer on Twitter, visibly annoyed. He is not the only one since several Internet users have criticized these accents.

“Better they refrain from imitating the accent”
Another points out that “after 10 minutes of viewing, she wants to say that if the actors are not Asturian, it is better that they refrain from imitating the accent. It is very noticeable.” The fact of having tried to force an accent that was not there naturally is therefore really what sins in the actors according to those who are familiar with this part of Spain. A quick Google tour has indeed allowed Internet users to notice that the main actors were born in the region of Andorra or Barcelona, very far from the place whose accent they are supposed to represent in Infiesto.
Toy hasta los cojones que en les pelicules que tan ambientae en Asturias pongan acento gallego. Esto ye una puta vergüenza, si no sabeis face una pelicula no la faigas. Contrata a actores asturianos o si no contrataime a mi pa dar una clase, que acento tengo bastante #Infiesto

Estoy viendo Infiesto por recomendación de varios tuiteros.
Llevo 10 min de película pero quiero decir que, si los actores no son asturianos, es better que se abstengan de imitar el acento. A mountain was written down. Busco en Google y en efecto, los actorses no son de Asturias pic.twitter.com/dVTqw7DAub— Celia (@celiabg8) February 4, 2023
