THE GOOD LIFE [La buena vida]
Andrés Wood 2008
Categories: AFI Latin American Film Festival
Average Rating:
Rated 0.0/5 Stars
My Rating:
Run time: 108 min. | Chile | Language: In Spanish with English subtitles.
The latest film from Chilean director Andrés Wood (MACHUCA, FOOTBALL STORIES) follows a cross-section of Santiagans as they struggle for fulfillment in their lives. A hard-working social worker (Aline Küppenheim) who educates prostitutes about safe sex discovers her teenage daughter (Manuela Martelli) has become pregnant. A salon owner (Roberto Farías) and the loan officer (Manuela Oyarzún) from his bank begin a promising romance, but discover that work and pleasure, as well as family, often do not mix. An aspiring clarinetist (Eduardo Paxeco) comes up short in his orchestra audition and settles for a gig with the army band. The criss-crossing narrative strands weave a portrait of modern life in the big city, where, despite the multitudes, loneliness and isolation are always present. Best Latin American Film, 2008 Goya Awards; Best Film, 2008 Huelva Latin American Film Festival.
