The Spanish video-on-demand platform Filmin has just added a new hit to its catalog with an intense Spanish drama, which has sparked great interest among subscribers. Starring Ángela Cervantes , the film has become one of the most talked-about films of the year thanks to its powerful story, its uncomfortable look at sexual violence, and an award-winning performance.
La furia , director Gemma Blasco 's debut feature film, presented at the Málaga Film Festival after its world premiere at South by Southwest and its screening at other festivals such as the D'A Film Festival, tells the story of Alex, a young actress who, after suffering a sexual assault at a New Year's Eve party, faces the trauma alone, finding neither understanding nor support in her immediate surroundings. Her refuge is the theater, embodying Medea, a character through which she channels her rage and pain.

Blasco, who co-wrote the script with Eva Pauné, explained that the play is based on his own experience, with the intention of distancing himself from moralistic tales or those focused solely on self-improvement. His approach was to create a dark, visceral, and uncompromising story , where the way it is told is as important as the plot.
Ángela Cervantes and Àlex Monner lead a cast that includes Ana Torrent, Salim Tamoud, Carla Linares, and Eli Iranzo. Filmed in Barcelona and Torrevelilla, the production is supported by Filmax and with the participation of RTVE. Now available on Filmin after its theatrical run, The Fury has generated a notable impact among critics and audiences, who praise its emotional intensity and the chemistry between the leads.
