Netflix begins filming La Regenta adaptation starring Ester Expósito
Netflix has begun filming a new La Regenta adaptation as a movie.
The film stars Spanish actor Ester Expósito as Ana Ozores, the central character.
La Regenta is a classic novel by Spanish writer Leopoldo Alas, known as Clarín, and this will be its third screen adaptation.
Ana lives in the fictional city of Vetusta, where she feels unhappy in a comfortable but empty marriage.
Her search for meaning meets pressure from a society that judges her, amid tensions involving faith, desire and social expectations.
Director Mar Coll is shaping the new version with a female point of view, focusing on Ana’s loneliness and unhappiness.
Filming is underway, but Netflix has not announced a release date.

What people are saying
La novela de ‘Clarín’ es tan rica que de ella pueden hacerse decenas de adaptaciones diferentes. Yo he tratado de aproximarme al material, humildemente, desde un enfoque radicalmente personal, como hago siempre.
