About The August Virgin:
2020. 129 m. Jonás Trueba. Outsider Pictures. Spain. Spanish w/ subtitles. NR but contains sexual situations and nudity.
Up-and-coming Spanish filmmaker Jonás Trueba’s new film, The August Virgin (La virgen de agosto), is a perfect summer movie, an Éric Rohmer-esque love letter to Madrid and affairs of the heart. Eva (played by the film’s co-writer, the luminescent Itsaso Arana) is about to turn 33. Her decision to stay in Madrid in the sweltering month of August, when most of the city’s inhabitants flee, is something of a leap of faith—she’s in search of herself and her own life. The neighborhoods around her burst with traditional Saint’s Days parties and celebrations while she encounters a series of old friends and lovers, and meets some new ones. A former boyfriend who still pines for her, a young mother with whom Eva has lost touch, a sexy Welsh guy with a thing for anti-fascist songs, a Reiki therapist who wants to align her female energies, and a new possible love interest are just a few of the characters that fill her month of revelations, regrets, and discoveries. The August Virgin is the journey of one woman; a dreamy, sensual summer story of delayed coming-of-age, dancing in the streets, and good conversation. With music from and an appearance by well-known Spanish singer Soleá Moreno.
