The 13 Roses
Directed by Emilio Martínez Lázaro1h 40m2007
True story of thirteen totally normal young women that suffered harsh questioning and were put in prison under made up charges of helping the rebellion against Franco back in the 1940s. Despite of their innocence, the thirteen were soon executed without even a trace of evidence of any wrong doing.
Our read: The 13 Roses (2007) reads as a heavy, measured, grounded drama entry — measured in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, measured in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
Heavy, measured, measured drama, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, mid-stakes, measured.
