Jump into the Void

Jump into the Void (Spanish: Salto al vacío) is a 1995 Spanish urban melodrama film written and directed by Daniel Calparsoro (in his directorial debut film) which stars Najwa Nimri, Roberto Chalu, Alfredo Villa, and Ion Gabella.

Set against the backdrop of youth living in the industry-heavy peripheral urban areas, the plot follows the plight of young arms trafficker and gang member Alex and her unrequited cravings for love and affection.

[9] David Stratton of Variety assessed that the "ultra-violent pic" [...] "is leavened by the surprisingly tender treatment of the principal femme character, beautifully played by Najwa Nimry", otherwise writing that it "has 'cult' written all over it".

[2] Augusto Martínez Torres of El País wrote that despite the film being "full of irregularities", the helmer manages "a very personal work, a tender feminine portrait within the most terrible violence".
