About The Anarchist's Wife
Manuela is left behind when her husband Justo fights for his ideals against Franco's Nationalists during the Spanish Civil War. He is deported to a concentration camp, and upon his release, continues the fight against nationalism in the French resistance. Years pass without a word from him, but his wife never gives up hope of seeing him again.
Directed by Marie Noëlle, Peter Sehr, The Anarchist's Wife leans on a strong ensemble — María Valverde, Juan Diego Botto, Ivana Baquero — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2008.
