Curiosità

Blood in May is a 2008 Spanish historical drama film directed by José Luis Garci and starring Quim Gutiérrez and Paula Echevarría. The plot is inspired on work by Benito Pérez Galdós and takes place around the events of 2 May 1808, when the people of Madrid rose up in rebellion against French occupation. The film was one of three films Spain submitted to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. The film was disappointing in terms of audience and critical reception.

Production

The film is a free adaptation of Benito Pérez Galdós' novels La corte de Carlos IV and El 19 de marzo y el 2 de mayo, part of the Episodios Nacionales. The production featured a large €15 million budget. The public subsidies provided by the right-leaning regional administration of Madrid represented the largest ever for a Spanish film.
