'El Planeta': Film Review | Sundance 2021

Netflix and Federation Spain, the Spanish division of Paris and L.A.-based Federation Entertainment, are teaming to produce “Las niñas de cristal,” a psychological drama set against the world of classical ballet that toplines “Money Heist” and “Elite” star Maria Pedraza.The movie is one highlight in Netflix’s first announcement of a production-distribution slate focused entirely on Spanish original movies.
