The Queen of Spain
Trailer
Why watch this film?
Penelope Cruz is the famous movie star Macarena Granada, who flees the glitz and glamour of 1950s Hollywood to return to her roots in Spain where she has signed on to star in an epic film as Queen Isabella of Spain.
"With the peculiar Spanish humor, this comedy is a metalinguistic view of cinema in the Iberian Peninsula, making fun of the mistakes and successes of local productions in the 1950s, during the dictatorship of Francisco Franco. Penélope Cruz stands out, as she is the energy of the feature film."
