Synopsis

Spanish and Catalan with English subtitles

With Violeta Rodríguez, Albert Pla, Laura Corbacho Garrido, Gonzalo Ramos, Yolanda Sey Asare, Josep Julien Ros, Laura Roig Farrás, Arnau Comas Quirantes

Situated between fiction and documentary, The Revolution of the Muses reclaims the women silenced by the history of Western art.

The film highlights their close relationships with so-called great geniuses, positioning them as true co-creators. Iconic artists from the past are reimagined in a contemporary context to question their prejudices and to expose the abuses of power they exercised over their muses.

Directed by Mar Nantas, Yaiza de Lamo, and Juno Álvarez, this modern reinterpretation sheds light on the persistence of these dynamics today, inviting a critical reassessment of power structures within the art world.

Press

“The Revolution of the Muses offers a critical reading of the inherent sexism in art history, from the perspective of reclaiming an archetype—the dissident woman—and using a technique of re-signifying paintings brought to the big screen: the tableau vivant.” – João Borges, Núvol
