Dance of the Forty One

Every frame a work of art. Alfonso Herrera is a national treasure.

[Netflix] A beautiful forbidden love story that's built like a period drama. With a nineteenth-century staging that recalls Luchino Visconti and a recreation of private parties that refers to Stanley Kubrick, the film perfectly creates a tension that builds up to a magnificent third act. Among so many men, it stands out an overwhelming performing of Mabel Cadena, villain and victim at the same time.

It's a movie of its proclivities. Truly a Spanish gem in the world of LGBTQ with the shaming and secrecy missed in CMBYN, bringing it home with the politics. The sex rampage is wild. Love it.
