Najwa Nimri and Alba Planas in The Red Virgin (2024)

Review by folk_egm

The Red Virgin

8/10

The True Story of a Girl Created by Her Mother to Change the World

A stunning historical political drama from Spain in the 1930s about a modern mother who aims to raise her daughter as a genius destined to transform the world according to her ideological vision - combining Sigmund Freud, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Karl Marx in a single individual. The young girl is an incredibly brilliant prodigy, despite living primarily within the confines of her home.

The film portrays societal transformation through Spain's first democratic election, with her serving as the intellectual core of the winning political party. As she ventures into the wider world, her relationship with her mother becomes increasingly conflicted. The narrative unfolds as a dramatic philosophical and political dialogue, rich with intellectual debate and passionate exchanges.

Those deeply passionate about politics will especially appreciate this film, and it's particularly recommended for those who are drawn to pure ideological narratives. An absolute must-watch for those who love intellectual and political discourse.
