has acquired distribution rights to North America on “The August Virgin,” from Jonas Trueba, one of Spain’s most prominent young writer-directors who has broken through to big festival selection – “The Reconquest,” his fourth feature, played San Sebastian competition — and now prizes.
Produced by Trueba’s longtime producer Javier Lafuente at Madrid based Los Ilusos Films, written by lead Itsaso Arana and Trueba and directed by Trueba, “The August Virgin” world premiered in competition at Karlovy Vary this Summer where it won the Fipresci Intl Federation of Film Critics’ prize and a Jury Special Mention.
Spangled by literary reference, laced with Trueba’s hallmark whimsy, ken for philosophical rumination and observational detail – often offsetting action, of character, people and places – ”The August Virgin” turns on Eva, one of the few Madrid locals who stays in Madrid over the dog days of August, renting an apartment for a month, as most depart in their droves for the coast.
