Review: Ambrossi and Calvo's historical triptych falls short
Original: In Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo's historical triptych, dramas of gay repression and liberation dovetail in ways more
A New Yorker review assesses the new historical triptych from Spanish directors Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo, known for their flamboyant, heartfelt storytelling. The piece argues that the drama's interwoven storylines about gay repression and liberation ultimately dovetail in ways more reductive than illuminating, suggesting the ambitious project simplifies the history it seeks to portray. It adds to the conversation around the pair's move into large-scale period filmmaking.
Why now: A prominent critical review of the directors' new historical series is drawing attention to its treatment of gay repression and liberation.
