The dynamic cast: Malena Alterio, Alexandra Jiménez, Fele Martínez, Antonio Pagudo, Eva Ugarte and Juan Carlos Vellido (Pirates of the Caribbean 4-5).
Out in November at Hungary’s movies. Original Spanish film with Hungarian subtitles.
During Therapy, moviegoers are promised a six-character relationship drama laced with sitcoms, which is an adaptation of a theater performance. The hour and a half is about a lot of things: raising children, sex in relationships, jealousy, accepting husbands, women’s work outside the home and a few other smaller, other topics. The story follows three married couples who participate in an unconventional group therapy, and the characters are tasked with helping each other recover from their deep-rooted traumas, which unfold following the therapist’s instructions.
Herrero, producer of the Oscar-winning 2009 Hidden Secrets, returns as director after The Goya Murders. Under Therapy is the chilling film version of playwright Matías Del Federico’s theatrical production. Not a comedy, but a drama for humor.
A two-time winner in Málaga and a contender in San Sebastián, Herrero has proven to be one of Spain’s most enduring directors, continuing to evolve since he made his feature film debut in 1987.
The film was presented at the 26th Málaga Film Festival on March, 12. 2023. Distributed by Syldavia Cinema, it was released theatrically in Spain on March, 17. 2023.
