Familia Rodante
January 31 [11:
00 AM]
Director: Pablo Trapero
You
can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your family.
It’s
Grandma’s 84th birthday and the disparate family gathers
to pay homage to their matriarch, unaware of the bombshell she’s
about to drop.
 She’s
been invited to be the matron of honour at her niece’s wedding
in the remote village where she was brought up, over a thousand
kilometres away from Buenos Aires, and wants… no, expects…
them all to go with her. Unable to defend themselves against the
heavy dose of emotional blackmail she lays on them, thirteen members
of four generations of the same family cram into the back of a
twenty year old camper van and set off.
In
this confined space, as the days pass and the van hobbles its
way towards its destination, emotions start to ride high and old
grudges and jealousies start bubbling to the surface, along with
well kept secrets and sexual tensions, new and past.
Excruciating
and hilarious in equal measure in its raw depiction of family
politics, Director Pablo Trapero’s own grandmother, a non-professional
actress, plays the family matriarch lending the film reality,
charm and sympathy.
