Synopsis
The Queen of Spain (La reina de España, 2016) is a Spanish comedy from director Fernando Trueba you can watch online on iFILM. Penélope Cruz returns as Macarena Granada, the actress who fled wartime Europe for Hollywood and turned into a major star.
It's the 1950s, and the diva comes back to Franco's Spain to play Queen Isabella of Castile in a lavish American epic. The shoot is a circus: regime censors hover over every scene, producers panic, and faces from her past resurface on set. A sequel to The Girl of Your Dreams (1998), the film sets nostalgia for the old studio era against sly jabs at the dictatorship watching from the wings.
Mandy Patinkin and Cary Elwes show up as the Hollywood contingent, and Trueba clearly relishes making a movie about moviemaking. Light, handsome, a little wistful — best for anyone who enjoys backstage comedies set in cinema's golden age. Stream The Queen of Spain (2016) online on iFILM.
