Diamond Flash is a 2011 Spanish independent film directed, written and produced by Carlos Vermut in his directorial debut feature.

Plot

The plot consists of five vignettes concerning five women (Violeta, Elena, Lola, Juana, and Enriqueta) who share a mutual connection to the mysterious Diamond Flash.

Production

Boasting a low budget of about €20,000, the film was financed by the money Vermut made from Jelly Jamm.[1] The film blends genres such as giallo, science-fiction, comedy, drama, thriller, and superhero films.[2] Shooting locations included the Centro district in Madrid, including the area of Malasaña.[3] [4]

Release

The Albacete-based Abycine Festival selected the picture for the non-competitive slate, with the film premiering in 2011.[5] [6] [7] Diamond Flash was later picked up for a screening at the Sitges Film Festival. It had a straight streaming release on Filmin on 8 June 2012.[8] It eventually earned a cult status.[9] [10]

Reception

Andrea G. Bermejo of Cinemanía rated Diamond Flash 4 out of 5 stars, assessing that Vermut delivers "a film of characters and powerful dramatic writing that is supported by a cast of amazing—and, paradoxically, semi-unknown actors".[11]
