Baton Rouge is a 1988 Spanish neo-noir[1] thriller film directed by Rafael Moleón Gavilanes, which stars Carmen Maura, Victoria Abril, and Antonio Banderas.

A wealthy woman Isabel Harris is blackmailed by cold psychiatrist Ana Alonso and the gold-digging gigolo Antonio, who team up to frame Isabel in a crime.[2][3]

Cast

Release

It was released in Spanish theatres on 10 October 1988.[7]

Reception

Octavi Martí's review in El País reproached Moleón for privileging the mathematical nature of the plot, "devouring everything, characters included, to the point of [Moleón] filming absurd sequences". He did, however, praise convincing performances from the actors.[8]
