7 Virgenes is not a fun watch. It is a diagnostic tool. If you want to understand why juvenile crime rates fluctuate, don't read a government report. Watch Tano try to buy a soda with a crumpled 5 euro note. Watch him realize that outside the walls, nobody is waiting for him.
Determined to pack a whole summer's worth of life into just two days, Tano reunites with his best friend Richi to indulge in everything forbidden: drinking, drugs, and petty crime. Pelicula 7 Virgenes UPD
Alberto Rodríguez shoots the film with a humid, suffocating grain. You can almost smell the sweat, the cheap cologne, the fried fish, and the river Guadalquivir. The heat acts as a psychological intensifier. Every bad decision (a stolen scooter, a beating, a near-fatal overdose) feels inevitable because the heat makes logic impossible. 7 Virgenes is not a fun watch
