This has been one of the hottest summers on record in Madrid. The dog days of summer have come early, bringing with them Jonás Trueba’s steamy new feature “The August Virgin,” which world premiered in competition atEach August, as thermometers pass 40ºC , Madrileños flee the Spanish capital bound for the beaches of the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts. “The August Virgin” turns on Eva, one of the few locals to have decided to stay and brave the city’s hottest days.
The film is produced by Trueba’s Madrid-based Los Ilusos Films, with BTeam Pictures handling Spanish distribution. Trueba and co-writer-lead actress Itsaso Arana talked withTim Robbins Says 'Shawshank Redemption' Was the 'Best Script I've Ever Read' Trueba: When I make a movie, I try to fill it with things that I like and share those things with the audience, who I see as friends. That often includes the books I read. In his essays, Emerson talks about “self-confidence,” building an identity of one’s own based on the behavior and relationship with the space you live in. That’s something key to this movie. And Cavell always thought cinema could advance philosophical ideas better than philosophy itself.
Trueba: Yes, because there’s normally always someone nearby that translates. That’s how it is in life. Sometimes we don’t understand everything that’s said around us, and I like that to happen in the movies.Trueba: Without Itsaso I wouldn’t have been able to make this film. It’s the first time I dared to shoot a woman as the protagonist, and I wanted the film to be told with her voice, seen through her eyes, and experienced through her way of being.
