La Regenta

1995 · 302 min

A slow, suffocating immersion into provincial hypocrisy, where every glance and social ritual presses down on a woman with quiet, mounting cruelty.

Overview: The imaginary city of Vetusta, a symbol of anachronistic and oppressive traditions, is the realm of hypocrisy and intolerance that makes Ana Ozores's life unbearable and inevitably tragic.
How it feels: Melancholic, dark, tense and romantic. Slow-burning and demanding.
About: Isolation, betrayal, morality, faith
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
