My Mother Likes Women
This Spanish import is a staccato-paced comedy about three sisters whose lives are thrown off-kilter after a very surprising revelation from their mother. Sofia, (Rosa Maria Sarda), a renowned pianist, is long separated from her daughters’ father. On her birthday she chooses to deliver a stunning announcement: she has fallen in love again. The daughters are thrilled and even titillated when they hear that the new partner is somewhat younger, Czech, and also a pianist. But there’s something else: she’s a woman. The daring feature debut of Spanish directors Ines Paris and Daniela Fejerman, MY MOTHER LIKES WOMEN traces the emotional landscape of a modern family that is nevertheless shocked at this unexpected news. Leonor Watling (the beauty in TALK TO HER and MY LIFE WITHOUT ME) leads the engaging ensemble cast in her role as the beautiful, neurotic daughter Elvira, who reacts by experiencing a crisis of sexual identity. Her sister Sol (Silvia Abascal), the edgy lead singer in a rock and roll band, sees it as material worth mining for her music. The married Jimena (Maria Pujalte) struggles with her own preconceptions and that of her conventional husband. Screwball comedy takes hold as the sisters begin to feel threatened by their mother’s new lifestyle. Suspecting that she might be financially supporting her girlfriend, the sisters hurtle themselves into a frenzied effort to "rescue" their mother and separate the new lovers. The hilariously calibrated plot follows the sisters as they go to outrageous extremes -- even attempting to seduce their mother’s girlfriend -- wreaking utter havoc in their wake.
