Synopsis
Mad Love (Juana la Loca, 2001) — watch online on iFILM — a Spanish-Italian-Portuguese historical drama directed by Vicente Aranda, with Pilar López de Ayala and Daniele Liotti.
Queen Isabella of Castile dies in November 1504, leaving the throne to her twenty-five-year-old daughter Juana. Her husband, Archduke Philip of Austria — called Philip the Handsome — has no intention of sharing power. He wants Spain outright. His method: exploit Juana's obsessive attachment to him. He takes lovers openly, at court, deliberately — not from desire but as political leverage. Juana is pulled between her crown, her jealousy, and the slow erosion of any claim to sanity that her husband is engineering. Aranda's film doesn't cast her simply as a victim: she is fierce, lucid, and cornered — which is precisely what makes the label "mad" so uncomfortable. Watch Mad Love online on iFILM.
