 movie review | mad love [juana la loca] (2002)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The story of Mad Queen Joan, daughter of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabel, is a compelling one, and from moment to moment, it’s possible to glimpse it in Vicente Aranda’s lush but inert re-telling of this true story of one woman’s overwhelming passion for her husband.
Joan, raised at the austere Spanish court, is married to Philip the Handsome (the suitably cast Daniele Liotti), son of the Holy Roman Emperor.
As Joan’s “madness” - an erotomania that manifests itself in uncontrollable jealousy - takes her over, Ayala is often lunging at the camera in rage and desperation, but one can’t help but imagine that she’s trying, unhappily, to escape from the stately, uninspired camerawork and pacing of her director.
