Plot

The plot consists of five vignettes concerning five women (Violeta, Elena, Lola, Juana, and Enriqueta) who share a mutual connection to the mysterious Diamond Flash.[1]

Cast

Production

Boasting a low budget of about €20,000,[3] the film was financed by the money Vermut made from Jelly Jamm.[4] The film blends genres such as giallo, science-fiction, comedy, drama, thriller, and superhero films.[5] Shooting locations included the Centro district in Madrid, including the area of Malasaña.[6][7]

Release

The Albacete-based Abycine Festival selected the picture for the non-competitive slate, with the film premiering in 2011.[3][8][9] Diamond Flash was later picked up for a screening at the Sitges Film Festival.[9] It had a straight streaming release on Filmin on 8 June 2012.[10][1] It eventually earned a cult status.[3][11][12]

Reception

Andrea G. Bermejo of Cinemanía rated Diamond Flash 4 out of 5 stars, assessing that Vermut delivers "a film of characters and powerful dramatic writing that is supported by a cast of amazing—and, paradoxically, semi-unknown actors".[1]
