MADRID, 1987- Synopsis by Netflix. “During the political unrest of 1987, \u00c1ngela meets elderly journalist Miguel for an interview and ends up his captive, locked with him in his bathroom. Over the next 24 hours, they engage in verbal sparring that parallels the nation’s upheaval.”<\/p>\n
Here’s what Rotten Tomatoes had to say– “Madrid, 1987 …is a two-character story with a verbose discourse on writing, journalism, careerism, aging and politics. Shot mostly within a very constricted space, the story follows an older, celebrated journalist Miguel (Jos\u00e9 Sacrist\u00e1n) who meets the beautiful and coy journalism-student Angela (Mar\u00eda Valverde) to give an interview – but becomes intent upon seducing her. They end up spending time in the most unusual manner …discussing literature, prose and career trajectories …gradually divulging little insights into their own selves as we start to understand the old journalist’s cynicism and the young prot\u00e9g\u00e9’s intentions.<\/p>\n
