Movie Reviews of Libertarias (Juegos De Guerra)
Movie Review: Radical women of the Spanish Revolution
Summary: 4 Stars
June 1936. The military uprising has been fought back by the anarchist FAI and other leftist groups. In the middle of this ongoing revolution are the women, who don't just have to fight the fascists but also their fellow radicals who think that womens place are not in the front line but behind the stove.
The story circulates around a nun, Maria, who joins a band of working women and former prostitutes to fight the fascists. Not really belonging there she experience the initial welcome of the promised future, but also the cruel reality of war.
Good actors and an interesting script makes this a good movie, but for those who wish to understand more of the radicals visions and ideas will fall short. But still a movie I recommend.
Summary of Libertarias (Juegos De Guerra)
Spain, July 19, 1936. The War has just begun and women as always play their part in this human tragedy. Maria, an innocent young nun, is forced to leave the convent after the arrival of the revolutionary troops in Barcelona. She takes refuge in a brothel, where she meets a group of "Libertarias", who are being "drafted" for the "Free Women" organization under the leadership of Pilar (Ana Belen) a pure feminist warrior, passionate and fiery. Alongside, Charo (Loles Leon) the hooker with the heart of gold and Floren (Victoria Abril) a spiritualist, Maria joins in. Within the brutal realities of war, Maria experiences love with an unexpected character and companionship through those she is fighting with. Libertarias is an epic of six women fight for freedom, their struggle for justice amid their passionate cry for a better world. One of Spain's best known directors, Vicente Aranda, Winner at the Tokyo International Film Festival, has made 17 previous films including the internationally acclaimed "Amantes".Art House & International DVD Video
