A film by Mariana Chenillo

in Spanish with English subtitles

1 hr 30 mins, rated NR

Winner Of 7 Ariel Awards (Mexican Academy Awards)

A Jewish family in Mexico is turned upside down when a long-held family secret is uncovered in this comedy-drama from director Mariana Chenillo. Nora is in poor health, and with Passover coming up, she decides she wants to end her life so that her family can come together for the funeral and the high holiday at the same time. Nora talks her former husband Jose into handling the details of her funeral and bringing together her friends and family for the occasion, a task Jose isn’t very enthusiastic about, given some unresolved issues between them and his ambivalence about Jewish rituals. Despite it all, Jose sets out to honor Nora’s request, but the discovery of a hidden photograph among her effects leads to a surprising revelation.

“Lujan, a veteran leading man now at an age when character roles more suit him, carries the film with a droll, understated bemusement.” - Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

“It's a sly, small film that shies away from too much gravity at all the right times.” - Tom Long, Detroit News

As avant-garde as ever 50 years after making his debut with the landmark HIROSHIMA MON AMOUR, director Alain Resnais delivers a career-crowning masterpiece with this delightful roundelay, based on Christian Gailly’s novel The Incident, about the fate-altering ripples triggered by a seemingly ordinary purse snatching. The purse belongs to Marguerite, a dentist who moonlights as an aviatrix. Its contents are retrieved by Georges, a married man who soon finds himself infatuated with the purse’s owner, even though he hasn’t actually met her yet. Add in a couple of keystone cops, some dizzying aerial acrobatics, and glorious widescreen camerawork and you have the recipe for a uniquely playful meditation on coincidence and desire that suggests Resnais, at age 87, is truly in his prime.

“The most sublime film I’ve seen in Cannes in years.”
-Todd McCarthy, Variety
