Last night I found this on Netflix by chance and decided to give it a go. I don’t know as much about the Duquesa de Alba as my friend Fiona (who I found out is writing her first substack piece on the Duquesa – stay tuned) but she was certainly a vivid presence in Sevilla… I was going to say until her death ten years ago, but her memory lives on here. Anyhow, I really enjoyed this documentary which I think captured the essence of this complex and often controversial woman.

I watched this last night (it was made in 2021) and was left feeling so… disappointed. We had a real chance to re-set, to become more caring and empathetic, make a fresh start. Instead people chose to double down on greed and selfishness and now look at us. Anyhow, it’s worth a watch (Apple TV) just to see what can happen (and did happen for a while) when humans stop, well, being humans.
