The Wooden Box (Spanish: La caja)[1] is a 2006 Spanish-Portuguese black comedy film directed and written by Juan Carlos Falcón in his directorial feature debut which stars Ángela Molina, Elvira Mínguez, Antonia San Juan, Vladimir Cruz, and María Galiana.

[2][3] The Wooden Box is inspired by Víctor Ramírez's [es] novel Nos dejaron el muerto.

[2] It was shot in the islands of Fuerteventura and La Palma while filming for some indoor footage took place in Madrid.

[3] Pere Vall of Fotogramas rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, highlighting its looks and the actresses as the best things about the film whilst citing the characters of Vladimir Cruz and Jordi Dauder as the worst things about it.

[3] Javier Ocaña of El País considered that despite a story with almost always promising situations, the black comedy film is flawed because of a mise-en-scène that "is continually stagnant", the editing, and dialogues which are not as fast as they should be, writing that "it is as if Robert Bresson had filmed a script by Luis García Berlanga".
