LA MISTERIOSA MIRADA DEL FLAMENCO
Friday, November 28 | 20:00 | Projector, Gasteig HP8
INFO: CH 2025, 104 min., Spanish with English subtitles, Feature film, FSK 18
DIRECTOR: Diego Céspedes
Curious characters live in a small mining village in the Chilean desert in the 1980s: Lidia, an eleven-year-old girl, and her adoptive family - the village's prostitutes, including the brothel owner and grandmother - as well as Flamenco, a trans* woman, Lidia's mother and the protagonist of a tragic love story. When a mysterious disease, which is supposedly transmitted through looks and love between two men, breaks out in the village, these women have to deal with discrimination, violence and the superstitions of the men who sometimes love them and sometimes hate them.
LA MISTERIOSA MIRADA DEL FLAMENCO is a feature film that deals intensively with the topic of HIV/AIDS in a community that was completely marginalized and ignorant at the beginning of the epidemic. While the biographies or well-known films associated with this subject in the 80s were set in big cities such as San Francisco, New York, Buenos Aires, etc., this film transports us to a remote and dusty world with originality, beauty, eschatology and dirtiness, a worthy legacy of Pedro Lemebel.
With iconic acting performances, dreamlike images and allusions to the Western, this debut film by Diego Céspedes won the top prize in the Un Certain Regard section at the Cannes Film Festival this year, where it celebrated its world premiere.
