A Cannes-winning film that relies on subtlety for its effect. 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 years' 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 the weekend turns wickedly comical.

Something of an evasive, downbeat joy. A peculiarly sour poem os mislaid loyalty, grief and pessimism. Go to Full Review

This low-key tale, by sophomore Uruguayan filmmakers Juan Pablo Rebella and Pablo Stoll, takes its wry look at the lives of three average people with a straight face. Go to Full Review
