FEATURED FILM – THE SECOND MOTHER (BRAZIL)
2015 | 1h52m | R
Actress Regina Case is a delight as a live-in housekeeper whose daughter shows up, upsetting the natural order of her – and her employer’s – life. Written & directed by Anna Muylaert, THE SECOND MOTHER is both funny and poignant. The film subverts conventions – both cinematic and social – and some characters are forever changed by the end of the movie.
“It’s the funny, edgy, engaging tale of a maid who must cope with the small-minded employer, a headstrong daughter, and a changing social fabric which is harder to handle than the endless laundry she hangs on the clothesline.” – San Francisco Chronicle
