“February in Argentina’s Northeast can be uncomfortably hot and humid. Bodies become sluggish and sticky... and tensions rise. Mecha is in her 50’s and must deal with four accident-prone teenagers, a husband who dyes his hair and the tedious problem of sullen servants. Nothing that a few drinks can't cure. Tali is Mecha's cousin. She has four noisy small children and a husband who loves his house, loves his kids and loves to hunt. Mecha and her family spend their summers at a country estate whose glory has long faded and where the two families, reunited by an accident, will attempt to survive a summer from hell. With uncompromising talent, Martel’s astonishing feature debut — which preceded the celebrated films The Holy Girl and The Headless Woman — brilliantly depicts the decadence of the Argentine middle-class through this family’s story.”
Director: Lucrecia Martel. 102 min. 2001. 35mm. | |
