Spanish Cinema Now+ “Premios Goya” | La virgen roja
La virgen roja (The Red Virgin), 2024
Directed by Paula Ortiz
Spanish Cinema Now+ “Premios Goya” showcases contemporary Spanish cinema by screening three films recognized at the 39th Goya Awards. The series was organized by the Cultural Office of the Embassy of Spain in Washington, DC, the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID), and the Spanish Film Academy, and is presented in Dallas by the Meadows Museum in collaboration with Dallas Film.
Based on actual events in 1930s Spain, this film centers on the young prodigy Hildegart Rodríguez Carballeira, who was conceived and raised by her mother, Aurora, as a eugenicist experiment to create the prototypical woman of the future. Under the grip of the obsessive and controlling Aurora, the brilliant Hildegart becomes conversant in multiple languages and a published authority on female sexuality while still a teenager. At 18, longing for freedom, she meets someone who helps her explore a new emotional world and break away from her mother, who will stop at nothing to prevent Hildegart from leaving her. La Virgen Roja was nominated for Best Director and Best Supporting Actress and received the award for Best Art Direction at the 39th Goya Awards.
Spain’s Institute of Cinematography and Audiovisual Arts rates this film ICAA 12+ (not recommended for audiences under twelve years of age), but the Meadows Museum screening is intended for mature audiences only.
