Daily Recommendation: ELVIRA I WILL GIVE YOU MY LIFE BUT I'M USING IT

Elvira3.jpg

In Manolo Caro’s third feature film, Elvira’s husband goes out to buy a pack of cigarettes, and never comes back. The 40-year-old mother of two young children frantically hunts for clues. Erratically taking things into her own hands, Elvira turns into an amateur sleuth on a relentless and hysterical quest to discover what happened. As Elvira begins to unravel secrets about the husband she thought she knew, her own repressed identity begins to unravel before her. Emmy nominated actress Cecilia Suárez shines in the title role of this delightfully rare, physical and emotional comedy. She’s joined by a cast of leading popular and established actors including Luis Gerardo Méndez, Carlos Bardem, and Angie Cepeda.
