Background

In May 2019 it was announced that Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi were in talks to produce, write and direct a biopic about the life of Spanish transgender TV personality "La Veneno" for Atresmedia. [9] In November 2019 the cast was confirmed, with Jedet, Daniela Santiago and Isabel Torres being selected to play the main character, Cristina Ortiz, in the series. [10] The selection was very well received by the general public who thanked the duo for choosing three genuine transgender women to play a transgender woman. [11] Filming began on December 16 in Isleta del Moro, a small town in the province of Almería. Production later extended to Adra, Valencia and the Community of Madrid (with special focus at the Casa de Campo) and was scheduled to last four months, ending in March 2020. [12] [13] Production was shut in early March due to Spain's national lockdown, decreed on March 14 and caused by the 2019-20 coronavirus pandemic, which had already infected over 5,000 people by that date.

On January 17 and 25, the first two teasers were posted on social media. [14] On January 28 it was announced that the series would be released on Atresmedia Premium in March 2020. [15] The official release date was revealed on February 14. [16] The series' poster was revealed on March 6 with the final trailer being released a week later. [17]

Synopsis

Veneno focuses on the life and death of one of the most important and beloved LGBT icons in Spain, known as La Veneno (Cristina Ortiz). Despite being known for her charisma, and a fun personality, La Veneno's life and death remains an enigma. This story tells the experiences of a struggling transgender woman, who achieved fame with television appearances in the 90s and conquered the audience with a unique vision of the world. Throughout her life, the LGBT story in Spain is narrated from the 1960s to the present day.

The series follows the story of Valeria Vegas, a journalism student who never understood why people called her by a name that was not her own, the same thing that happened to Cristina, by then misnamed “Joselito” and the same one she had they have to survive a cruel and violent childhood under the Spain of the 60s. Two women who were born in very different times but who end up united forever when Valeria decides to write a book about the life of the iconic Cristina, La Veneno. [18] The series also talks about the importance and relevance of mass media, how it can popularize or marginalize in just one second.

Context

The last decade of the second millennium was an amazing and turbulent one for Spain. [19] [20] The 1992 Summer Olympic Games were held in Barcelona transforming the city entirely and showing the world the new open and democratic Spain after the Francoist Dictatorship, the 1992 Universal Exposition was held in Seville as Spain started an internationalization process to let the world get to know the country. Tourism flourished and so did the economy. What visitors did not know was that the country was in a process of moral reconstruction after a 35-year totalitarian dictatorship, and many were still fanatics of that kind of politics. The mentality of the dictatorship included press and personal censorship, repression and persecution of minorities or left-wing people. After this dark period the social movement popularly known as "Movida Madrileña" started. This movement consisted of making use of the freedom Spaniards had been deprived of. Musicians, journalists and ordinary people could now express themselves completely without being afraid of being taken to prison or being assassinated. [21] Thus, Madrid became this paradise of liberty within Spain, filled with parties, wild life and cultural activities from all kinds of ideologies. [22] The democratic transition started in the 1980s even though the essence and soul of Franco was still present after his death. The first five years of the 1990s in Spain were a dark, life-changing period for the country due to the huge amount of corruption scandals, terrorist attacks and the murder of three 14-year-old girls in the province of Valencia. The girls (according to the official report) were kidnapped in November 1992 by two young men after they both agreed to take them to a youth club in Picassent. They were taken to a ruined rural house in the middle of the hills in Tous where they were raped, tortured and killed. [23] Throughout the investigation, the discovery of the bodies in January 1993, their respective funerals and judgments, the media was always present since one of the girls' parents went to the press in first instance in order to help with the search for their daughter. When it was revealed that the girls hitchhiked to get to the club (something very normal at that time), women's freedoms were considerably reduced due to the hysteria generated by this event. The essence of freedom in Spain declined and social chronic shows started appearing on national television. [24]

One of the most popular and most important of these was Esta Noche Cruzamos el Mississippi (English: Tonight We Cross the Mississippi), hosted by journalist Pepe Navarro. This TV show mixed humorous sketches and news of social chronicle. It is mostly known because of its humor and in major part due to its exhaustive investigation and reporting of the Alcàsser Girls murder. [25] [26] El Mississippi, aired on Telecinco, became the most-watched late night show in Spain. In April 1996 journalist Faela Sainz, had to make a report for Navarro's show. After being scammed in her first attempt to report from Chueca, Sainz drove to the Parque del Oeste to film how prostitution took place in Madrid, to show the world something that was still not talked about in the press. [27] Separated in two "districts", the park was filled with transgender and cisgender prostitutes. The journalist, alongside a camera and audio man, interviewed some of them. [28] At one point she interviews Cristina Ortiz Rodríguez who adopted the alias of "La Veneno" due to the 1976 Los Chunguitos track "Dame Veneno". The interview with La Veneno aired on live television on April 15. The audience constantly wrote into the show asking when she was going to make an appearance. After two weeks of insisting, Ortiz made an appearance on the show on April 29, 1996 and became a regular castmember. Her undeniable beauty, unbelievably raw stories, coarse language, light and sense of humor captivated the public, making Navarro's show reach 8 million viewers every time she made an appearance. La Veneno became one of the first transgender people to show Spain the raw but true reality of prostitution, poverty and disrespect for minorities even from their own family members. Since that moment, she became an instant LGBT icon in Spain and a voice for all transgender people who have been repressed for their personal identity. When Esta Noche Cruzamos el Mississippi ended in 1997, La Veneno did two R-rated movies, released an EP and continued appearing in other television shows like La Sonrisa del Pelícano or Sálvame. In 2003 she was sent to prison due to fraud. After being released from prison in 2006, a transgender student Valeria Vegas from the University of Valencia met La Veneno and became close with her. In October 2016 La Veneno's memories "¡Digo! Ni Puta ni Santa. Las Memorias de la Veneno" (English: "I say! Neither a Whore nor a Saint. The Memories of La Veneno"), written by Vegas, were released.

Release and reception

Since the release of the series' first episode on 29 March 2020, the number of subscribers to Atresplayer Premium grew 42%, reaching 3.3 million subscribers. Veneno had the best debut of a series in the platform's history and became the most-watched programme on Atresplayer Premium being 10 times more watched than any other show on it to date. [30] The series' second episode aired on 28 June, to celebrate the cancelled Pride Day. On 12 August, Atresmedia announced that the third episode would be available on their platform on September 20. Starting then, a new episode was launched every Sunday, marking the series' end on 25 October 2020. The first three episodes were screened at more than 200 Spanish cinemas on 17 September. [31] To mark the launch of the last episode on the streaming platform, the first two episodes aired on free-to-air channel Antena 3 on 25 October 2020. [32] They were the most-watched show of the day in Spain, with over 2.5 million viewers for the first episode. [33]

In July 2020, HBO Max acquired the streaming rights to the series for the United States and Latin America. [34] [35] The series premiered on HBO Max on 19 November 2020. [36]

Critical reception

Veneno received acclaim from critics upon release. [37] Several critics named the series "a must see", "a moving and complex story within a brilliant fiction that is emotional and necessary", "an interesting and risky proposal about the Spanish icon" as well as "a work of art". [38]

Impact

In June 2020 it was announced that the series' main cast was selected as the barker for the 2020 Gay Pride in Madrid. However, Veneno reached its popularity peak in October 2020, as the series was coming to an end. On 10 October 2020, the City Council of Madrid announced that a new commemorative plaque of La Veneno would be placed at the Parque del Oeste due to popular demand after the first one was vandalized and stolen a week after its placement in April 2019 during the presidency of Manuela Carmena. [39] [40] On October 15 a huge promotional canvas was placed in the centre of Gran Vía, Madrid's most transited and most important avenue. [41] This marks the first time an LGBT series is promoted in this avenue in particular. On October 18, Spanish vice president Pablo Iglesias stated on Twitter that the series "makes you cry, laugh, remember, empathize, but above all, it makes you understand the savage pain that trans people have been and are inflicted on, simply by being themselves. I hope a lot of young people see the series". [42] This caused a lot of people to react negatively against the Government of Spain, who promised a national "Trans Law" back in 2015. On October 30, Minister of Equality Irene Montero announced that the law would be voted by the Spanish people before being submitted for approval by the government in the following months. [43] [44] This would allow transgender people to change their name and gender in the official documentation without presenting medical evidence of transition nor taking hormones. Spain's law stated before this that you had to present medical evidence to do so as well as taking hormones for 2 months without interruption. Montero had previously recommended Veneno on RNE "to understand the stigma that trans people suffer". [45] Veneno also became the only Spanish series to be included in the prestigious FreshTV Fiction list as one of the most innovative productions of MIPCOM 2020. It was also nominated for a Premio Iris for Best Direction and its main characters won the Premio Ondas for Best Female Performance in a Fiction.

Feature film version

In the summer of 2022 a 110 minute cut of the series had a limited release in movie theaters. [46]
