Mad Love (2001) short review

Kendra April 29, 2001
Juana la Loca (2001)

I’ve always been fascinated by Juana La Loca (“Juana the Crazy”), sister of Catherine of Aragon, who married the Archduke Ferdinand of Austria and subsequently went insane out of love/jealousy. That might explain why I was slightly disappointed by this movie, which didn’t (I felt) adequately portray Ferdinand’s emotional abuse of Juana or her (obviously hereditary) insanity. This isn’t my period, but the costumes looked good. In Spanish.
