Suffragette

The Director Isabel Coixet turns a genuine love story of two Spanish women into an amazing cinematic masterpiece. The story is a real-life story of a Spanish lesbian couple from 1901, who tried to be together fighting with anything to separate them. Elisa Sánchez Loriga and Marcela Graciela Ibeas were two women who loved each other and got married with Elisa pretending to be a man. The couples only wished to live a peaceful life in the arms of each other was destroyed once again when their little lie exposed. The outrage of the little community they were hiding pushed them to run away. The couple runs to Portugal with plans of immigrating to Latin America, but nothing goes as they planned.

The director’s magnificent eye and the purity of the story are giving us a pure joy and heartbreak at the same time. Every scene is a photographic magnum opus.
