The Anonymous Queen

The Anonymous Queen (Spanish: La reina anónima)[1] is a 1992 Spanish fantasy drama film directed by Gonzalo Suárez starring Carmen Maura and Marisa Paredes.

Upon meeting a strange woman claiming to be her neighbor, the anodine life of housewife Ana Luz takes a wild turn,[2] experiencing a series of surrealist and crazy situations that she is unable to control,[3] with a further set of bizarre characters breaking into her residence.

[3] Regarding the labelling of his film, Suárez stated that he was "not interested in discussing what La reina anónima is.

I usually say it is a tragedy disguised as a comedy, or a psychological drama.

[9] Ángel Fernández-Santos of El País assessed that despite the film boasting certain assets such as "expressionist sets", "excellent craft on the part of the cast", and "a dense and brilliant literary base", it has "little, if any, sense of ellipsis", thus damaging the whole.
