    Un amor (transl. 'One Love') is a 2023 Spanish drama film directed by Isabel Coixet from a screenplay by Coixet and Laura Ferrero based on the novel of the same name by Sara Mesa. It stars Laia Costa and Hovik Keuchkerian.

    Plot

    Freelance translator Nat settles in the countryside village of La Escapa, finding a hostile environment and a cruel landlord keen on sexist microagressions. Neighbor Andreas, locally dubbed as "the German", awkwardly offers Nat free home repairs in exchange for sexual penetration. Nat, despite early reluctance, ends up accepting, paving the way for a self-consuming passion.[1][2][3][4]

    Reception

    Jonathan Holland of

    ScreenDaily wrote that the film is sometimes "redolent of Coixet's very best work, rippling outwards to touch upon some fundamental, and eternally gripping, human questions about what love is".[6]

    Guy Lodge of Variety considered the film to be a return to form for Coixet while pointing out that it is not an "obvious crowdpleasing fare", because of its "commendably complex" gender politics and its "both frank and occasionally disturbing" study of sex as social currency.[3]
