Movie of the Day: Creatura (2023) by Elena Martin Gimeno

They’re a seemingly perfect couple. They just can’t manage to have sex anymore. While attempting to explain things to her partner, Mila reflects on her sexual awakening, from adolescence back to early childhood. No real defining trauma, no single key event, but an accumulation of humiliations, things unsaid and treated as taboo, filmed starkly and non-melodramatically by the actress-filmmaker. More than a psychoanalytical session, the film is an archaeological expedition into one person’s sexuality that is the experience of many.Winner Label Europa Cinemas, Cannes Film Festival 2023.
