Now in its second year, Spanish Cinema Now + Dallas presents a showcase of films reflecting the breadth of styles and talent at work in Spain today, including established auteurs and emerging filmmakers from the international festival scene. After its spring presentation in Washington, DC, the Meadows Museum will bring these films to Texas thanks to a partnership with the Embassy of Spain and Dallas Film. Space is limited and advance registration is required.

Tonight’s screening is Un amor (One Love, 2023), a drama directed by Isabel Coixet from a screenplay by Coixet and Laura Ferrero based on the novel of the same name. Having escaped from her stressful life in the city, 30-year-old Nat holes up in the small town of La Escapa, in deepest rural Spain. In a rundown country house, with a crochety stray dog, the young girl will try to put her life back on track. Having dealt with her landlord’s hostility and the mistrust of the village locals, Nat finds herself accepting a disturbing proposal made by her neighbour Andreas. This strange and confusing encounter will give rise to an all-consuming and obsessive passion that will completely engulf Nat and make her question the kind of woman she thinks she is. This film was nominated in multiple categories for the 38th Goya Awards, including Best Film, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Actress, and Best Actor.
