Product Information
Juan Pablo Rebella and Pablo Stoll's Cannes-winning film is a comedy-drama that relies on quite subtlety for its affect. Jacobo Koller runs a near-derelict sock factory and leads a life of quiet desperation. When his more successful brother Herman announces a surprise visit after many year's absence, Jacobo is desperate to prove he's successful at something and asks his near-mute assistant Marta Acuna to pose as his wife. His brother arrives and, instead of farce, the weekend turns into something more wickedly comic. The film's title, deliberately ironic, comes from what Uruguayans say instead of "cheese" to get a smile for the camera. This was Rebella's last film - he committed suicide last year, aged just 36. In Italian and Spanish with English subtitles.Product Identifiers
