The Square
Why this pick
Its polished social world steadily turns cruel and absurd, using escalating moral compromises and jet-black humour to create the same unnerving, unpredictable pressure.

The Fifth Season
Why this pick
A stark, deadpan moral fable where seemingly minor choices acquire alarming weight; its controlled framing and dry surrealism echo Magical Girl’s ominous precision.
03
The Skin I Live In
Why this pick
A sleek Spanish psychological nightmare driven by damaged people, concealed motives, and an increasingly claustrophobic sense that every relationship carries a hidden cost.
04
Borgman
Why this pick
It shares the cool, darkly comic European-art-film surface and creeping menace of Magical Girl, letting bizarre intrusions unsettle a comfortable world without easy explanations.
05
The Headless Woman
Why this pick
Its elliptical storytelling and exquisitely controlled unease make guilt feel physical, with bourgeois respectability gradually revealing a far more disturbing moral landscape.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Luis (played by Luis Bermejo), an unemployed literature teacher, tries to fulfill the last wish of his 12-year-old daughter Alicia (Lucía Pollán), who's terminally ill of cancer: owning the official costume of anime series ''Magical girl Yukiko''. The elevated price of the costume makes Luis get into an unusual and obscure chain of blackmails that involves Damián (José Sacristán) and Bárbara (Bárbara Lennie), to changing their lives forever.
