Violetas

About This Movie

Violetas, directed by Rafa Montesinos, delivers a haunting exploration of solitude and routine through its lead, Emma. At 50, she navigates life as a corrections officer, her world confined to the jail and her home. The pacing is deliberate, almost languid, allowing the audience to sink into her oppressive environment. The film captures the heavy weight of loneliness, with its muted color palette and stark settings enhancing the atmosphere of entrapment. Performances are raw and unvarnished, reflecting Emma's internal struggles. There’s something strikingly human about her obsessive routines, almost a rebellion against the mundane, which makes the film distinct in its portrayal of isolation and the complexities of a life built around walls—both literal and metaphorical.
