Shot mostly within a very constricted space, the story follows an older, celebrated journalist Miguel (José Sacristán) who meets the beautiful and coy journalism-student Angela (María Valverde) to give an interview - but becomes intent upon seducing her. They end up spending time in the most unusual manner ...discussing literature, prose and career trajectories ...gradually divulging little insights into their own selves as we start to understand the old journalist's cynicism and the young protégé's intentions.

Critic Reviews
-
Sheri Linden, Los Angeles Times
The actors give their characters a resonance beyond the symbolic, but the action doesn't quite transcend the stagy setup.
-
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
Madrid, 1987 operates on a dizzying number of levels - as a romantic comedy, a sex farce, a study of culture clash, ageism and idealism.
-
Jon Caramanica, New York Times
A sweet, sometimes dull and certainly overlong film ...
-
Chris Packham, Time Out New York
Miguel uses her beauty and placid demeanor as a screen against which to project his memories of past adventures and the ghost of his libido.
-
John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter
A stillborn May-November seduction makes for sexual tension and fascinating dialogue.
