So Long Enthusiasm (Adiós entusiasmo) (NR)

synopsis

The acclaimed debut feature by Colombian filmmaker Vladimir Durán - a favorite at the Berlinale's Forum and winner of the Best Director and Best Colombian Film awards at the Cartagena Film Festival - follows Axel and his older sisters Antonia, Alejandra, and Alicia. They live in an apartment that becomes their kingdom ruled by extravagant policies that they've imposed, including locking up their mother, Margarita, in a room. The children communicate with their mother through a small window, giving her blankets, DVDs and reading material, and celebrating her birthday in the corridor. When she's eventually had enough, it's Axel who must decide what to do. Shot in Argentina, So Long, Enthusiasm establishes Durán as a talent to watch.
