Love & Revolution (Te estoy amando locamente)

Nominated for five Goya awards, Spanish filmmaking’s highest honour, and winner of one, this fist-pumping period drama from director Alejandro Marín thrusts audiences into the budding gay rights movement flooding the streets of 1977 Seville. Coming of age in a time of criminalized homosexuality and stifled free speech, teenage brainiac Miguel lives in the city with his adoring single mother Reme, a hardworking widow whose fierce love for her son guides her every step. When Miguel’s increasingly visible queerness lands him in the crosshairs of the state, Reme unexpectedly finds herself linking arms with a community of queer activists to ensure his safety.

With a winning ensemble of guerrilla organizers, vibrant costumes, and transporting production design, Marín crafts a pop-political love letter to fighting the good fight no matter what era you find yourself in.
