Los Ingobernables de Sala de Cine
The Invisible Life Of Euridice Gusmao was this year's Un Certain Regard winner at Cannes. It tells the story of two sisters in 1950's Brazil who become separated when the father denounces his youngest daughter. Living in the same city without realizing it, both sisters believe the other sister is actually living their dream life abroad as their personal lives are dominated by the oppressive patriarchic bigotry of their surroundings. The film is a bit on the long side but the story it tells is quite fascinating and the ever growing drama of the two sisters separately fighting the same problems does build up to a rewarding (and realistic) climax.
