In the ever-expanding universe of streaming content, a new Spanish series arrives not with a whisper but a shriek. “Rage” sets its stage in a hyper-modern Madrid, yet its concerns are timeless, distilled into a potent, high-octane dark comedy. The central idea is simple: what happens when women, pushed past their breaking point by a thousand daily indignities, finally push back?

The show presents an ensemble of female characters whose lives are beginning to fray from the pressures of deceit, professional obsolescence, and profound disrespect. Their deep-seated frustrations erupt in ways that are as shocking as they are bitterly funny.

This is a story about revenge, but one served with such explosive energy and unpredictable consequences that it feels less like a calculated plot and more like a necessary, chaotic exorcism. It captures a distinctly contemporary feeling of being utterly fed up.

Pedro Almodovar wasn't invited to Karlovy Vary this year, but in many ways the Spanish master filmmaker's influence among fellow Spanish filmmakers is evident in Dunia Ayaso & Felix Sabroso's "La isla interior" (The Island Inside). Apart from the subject of sexuality, this film has Almodovar's fingerprints all over it: beginning with the colorful design of the frames, the score which comes awfully close to Alberto Iglesias' work and the female cast which uses former Pedro film thesps in Geraldine Chaplin, who appeared in "Talk to Her" and Candela Peña who had a small part in "All About my Mother" and a third actress, who is the spitting image of a 1980's Carmen Maura. This tells the story of a family, where the patriarch is ill with schizophrenia, and the children are all afraid they'll inherit the disease. Trying to navigate through life is never easy, and when the...

Yes, I freely confess that I initially took a look at the trailer for this one because according to my very limited understanding of Spanish the title translates roughly to The Naked Years, which means that if my mother is reading this right now then she is very disappointed in me. Sorry, mom. And, yes, that poster makes it look like a very bad Euro knock off of Sex In The City, a franchise that I won’t touch with a ten foot pole despite the lady-friend’s ongoing obsession with it. But there’s a lot more to this one than that.

Directed by the duo of Dunia Ayaso and Félix Sabroso the film charts the changing film industry in Spain during the late 1970’s, specifically tracking the rise of the sexploitation film and the women who starred in them. If you want to be even more specific, it...
