The Reel Film Club: The Weasels’ Tale (Comedy)

The Weasels' Tale - Showing at FACETS on OCT. 28th as part of The Reel Film Club

Juan José Campanella pays tribute to the golden age of Argentinean cinema in his first live action film since “The Secret in Their Eyes.” Legendary actress Maya Ordaz (Graciela Borges from “La Ciénaga”), her wheelchair-bound husband Diego (Luis Brandoni), retired film director and weasel hunter Norberto (Oscar Martínez) and scriptwriter Martin (Marcos Mundstock) live together in a old mansion. Their bickering and constant clashes are no different than the ones they once experienced on a movie set. That may come to an end now that she plans to sell the mansion to an unscrupulous millennial couple. “The Weasels’ Tale” is a deliciously witty and sharply written dark comedy.

Juan José Campanella (“El secreto de sus ojos”) rinde tributo a la edad de oro del cine argentino con esta comedia deliciosamente ingeniosa. La legendaria actriz Maya Ordaz (Graciela Borges de “La Ciénaga”), su esposo en silla de ruedas Diego (Luis Brandoni), el retirado director de cine y ahora cazador de comadrejas Norberto (Oscar Martínez) y el guionista Martín (Marcos Mundstock) viven juntos en una vieja mansión. Sus constantes riñas y desacuerdos no son diferentes a los que una vez experimentaron en el set de una de sus películas. Pero eso puede llegar a su fin ahora que Maya piensa vender la mansión a una pareja de “millennials” sin escrúpulos.
