The evolution of affordable special effects has changed the cinematic landscape, allowing modest films, traditionally focused on human relationships, to organically incorporate elements of science fiction. A notable example of this trend is the new film by Nacho Vigalondo, ‘Daniela Forever’, a Spanish filmmaker who has made the genre his trademark<\/strong>, and you can already watch it on Filmin and Movistar+.<\/p>\n\n\n

A reinvention of Forget Me Not<\/h2>\n\n\n

In ‘Daniela Forever’, starring Henry Golding, the story of a musician named Nicolas is told, who struggles with the loss of his girlfriend Daniela. Immersed in a spiral of parties and desolation in Madrid, Nicolas becomes involved in an experimental treatment that allows him to shape his memories and his relationship with her at will<\/strong>. Although it sounds appealing, the film delves into the complexities of grief, highlighting how difficult it is to move forward when nostalgia becomes pathological.<\/p>\n\n\n
