Old cats

Film Old Cats, on DVD 16-4-2012. Order now from Vrolijk Online Lesbian shop in Amsterdam, Holland. With the movie OLD CATS Sebastián Silva & Pedro Peirano have crafted an endearing (and blackly comic) ode to real-life Chilean theatre couple Bélgica Castro and Alejandro Sieveking, who play octogenarian Isadora and her somewhat younger husband Enrique. The affectionate couple share a big rambling apartment with their two fat, contented cats and are struggling with the onset of Isadora's dementia. Things take an unexpected turn when their coked-up, conniving daughter Rosario and her butch girlfriend Hugo pay a visit, having hatched a grand scheme to procure the parental apartment (actresses Claudia Celedón and Catalina Saavedra are hilarious). Silva and Peirano's agile script dovetails with the improvisational skills of these four consummate performers who unravel layers of guilt and repressed accusations to produce a darkly funny and emotionally raw exploration of a complex mother-daughter relationship.
