THIS IS CRISTINA / ELLA ES CRISTINA
A film by Gonzalo Maza
(Chile, 2018, 82 min. In Spanish with English subtitles)
“Renowned screenwriter Gonzalo Maza (A Fantastic Woman, Gloria) delivers a Chilean Frances Ha in this generational comedy produced by Academy Award-nominated actor and producer Salma Hayek (currently starring in The Eternals and House of Gucci). Cristina and Susana have been best friends since high school. But now, at over 30 years of age, they are getting a wake-up call. Cristina has just gone through a divorce and is not prepared for her new bachelorhood, while Susana returns to live at her mother’s house. When the women fight and drift, they must deal with a long list of selfish, self-centered, and egotistical men on their own. With beautiful black and white cinematography inspired by the films of John Cassavetes and Jim Jarmusch, This is Cristina makes clear that Maza is as talented a director as he is a screenwriter.” —OVID.tv
