The Weakness of the Bolshevik

The Weakness of the Bolshevik (La flaqueza del bolchevique, 2003) — watch online on iFILM, a Spanish drama directed by Manuel Martín Cuenca. Luis Tosar plays Pablo, a composed professional whose self-control turns out to be far thinner than it appears.

A minor traffic accident becomes a grudge. The woman files an injury report; Pablo starts following her. He then discovers she has a teenage sister, María, and his fixation shifts. It grows slowly and goes somewhere dark. Tosar plays the role without explanation or apology — no backstory, no psychology handed to you, just the escalation itself. María Valverde makes her screen debut in the role of María and is the other reason to watch. Watch The Weakness of the Bolshevik (2003) online on iFILM.
