Watch a bilingual Q&A about “The Weasels’ Tale” with star and legendary actress Graciela Borges, moderated by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker and film programmer Robert Rosenberg here.
From Juan José Campanella, the director of the Oscar Award-winning The Secret in Their Eyes, comes The Weasels’ Tale (El cuento de las comadrejas), a comedic thriller that stars a bumper crop of well-known older Argentine actors. The film is the story of a group of four long-time friends, including a used-to-be-famous actress, her now disabled husband and an actor as well, who she eclipsed, and the sharp-tongued screenwriter and director of her greatest hits. Their coexistence is menaced by a young couple who, feigning to be lost, slowly insinuate themselves into their lives. It’s Sunset Boulevard meets The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, with a Latin twist. Financial gain, seduction, betrayal, and memories run amok are the elements that create the recipe for this delightful game of cat…and weasel.
Reviews
“A crowd-pleasing comedy. You can’t keep a good weasel down.” -The New York Times
“Old-fashioned fare with an up-to-date edge…enjoyably over-the-top.” -The Hollywood Reporter
“A delicious metacinematic black comedy.” -El Mundo
“An homage to the golden age of Argentine cinema…with the irony, snappy retorts and humor of Campanella’s filmmaking.”-Clarín
