In Portuguese with English Subtitles
U.S. Premiere
Cast: Rodrigo Santoro, Othon Bastos, Cássia Kiss, Jairo Mattos,
Caco Ciocler, Luis Miranda
This Brazilian box office hit is based on the true story of a middle class
adolescent forced to endure a hellish trip when he is unjustly sent to
a mental institution. An odyssey lived by Neto, a handsome young man,
experiencing the average Sâo Paolo teenage life of alternative rock,
road trips and the occasional marijuana joint. Neto would rather spend
more time with his friends than at home with his overbearing parents.
Feeling they can no longer control him, Neto’s parents trick their
son into being admitted to a mental institution. Neto falls into the absurd
system of cruelty and corruption of an archaic hospital bureaucracy. A
voyage that pivots between reality and fantasy. A bad trip that threatens
to push Neto over the edge into insanity…

Demasiado Amor/Too Much Love

In Spanish with English Subtitles
Cast: Karina Gidi, Ari Telch, Martin Altomaro
In this romantic comedy, the orphan sisters Beatriz and Laura dream of
immigrating to a foreign country, where they want to run a lodging house
and live off the rents. They don’t have enough money for the two
tickets to Europe, so Laura travels to Spain to start off the project,
and Beatriz remains alone in Mexico waiting for the right moment to catch
up with her sister. While Beatriz nurtures the desire of moving away,
she begins to feed off dreams and fantasies. In the midst of easy love
affairs that earn her enough money to support Laura who has not been able
to find a job in Spain, Beatriz meets Carlos, a man with whom she travels
throughout Mexico, discovering the unimaginable beauty of her country,
her soul and her own body.

La Fuga/The Escape
Eduardo Mignona, Argentina, 2000, 90 min.
In Spanish with English Subtitles
New York Premiere
Cast: Miguel Angel Solá, Ricardo Darín, Gerardo Romano,
Patricio Contreras and Norma Aleandro.
Best Foreign Film, GOYA award winner La Fuga brings together a cast of
Argentina’s most popular actors in a film full of tenderness and
love, mercy and terror. It is the summer of 1928 and several men are crawling
inside a tunnel. But the calculations fail and the hole leading them to
freedom absurdly opens in the middle of a coal and timber shop in Buenos
Aires, owned by a Spanish couple who realize the hole is the end of a
tunnel crossing the street from the National Penitentiary building just
in front. From this moment on, the film retells the fate of each of these
runaways: an anarchist, a crook, three murderers, a card cheater, and
an innocent man. They are tough guys, with moral codes of their own, ready
to do anything not to go back to prison.

El Sueño del Caimán/Caiman’s Dream
Beto Gómez, Mexico, 102 min.
In Spanish with English Subtitles
New York Premiere
Cast: Rafael Velasco, Daniel Guzmán, Kándido Uranga, Miguel
Romero, Roberto Espejo, Sara Ruiz
This black comedy begins in Spain and takes off to Mexico in a whirlwind
of high intensity, oddball occurrences, magic and superstition. Iñaki
is forced to flee his country (Spain) after a detrimental burglary goes
bust. Arriving in Guadalajara, he is reunited with his estranged father
and his scheming uncle “El Caimán.” El Caimán
has every intention of opening a classy bar with the proceeds of a bank
robbery, convincing Iñaki and his father to help. The haphazardly
planned job plays like a bizarre, low-rent crime caper, with inept robbers,
clueless cops and a volatile crowd of onlookers.

Peluca y Marisita
Raúl Perrone, Argentina, 85 min
In Spanish with English Subtitles
U.S. Premiere
Cast: Iván Noble, Gabriela Canaves, Matías Scarvacchi, María
Lorenzutti
Way before Danish Dogma 95 became part many film buffs vocabulary, Rául
Perrone has been using the video camera to tell stories about his immediate
reality. Experimenting with friends and producing groundbreaking works,
his films could only be watched in underground screenings and through
pirated copies. Finally in New York, we have the opportunity to experience
one of his latest films. Peluca and Marisita are a couple on a journey
heading nowhere, with little money, few prospects and few solutions. Many
situations and lines of dialogue can make you laugh, but the time of idle
and sometimes agreeable waiting is over, and it seems what’s next
is a suspended in time despair.
