About This Movie

Ultraviolet, directed by Paco Plaza, dives into a moody, atmospheric exploration of obsession and the hidden layers of creativity.

Practical effects enhance the film, grounding the surreal elements in a tangible way. The performances are compelling, especially as Lola's descent into her fixation unfolds.
