The sequel to the erotically charged Homework/La Tarea
Features: DVD, Spanish, English, Subtitled
Expanding on ideas from La Tarea (Homework), Hermosillo continues his story, now of a young man completing an assignment for his film/video class. The young man invites Marieda, a middle-aged woman, over to his aunt's house to rehearse for a video drama she believes they will eventually record. But she doesn't realize that she is being videotaped since her arrival. After a faux-sex scene rehearsal, they do make love, which causes an unexpected reaction within the young man. Minutes later the real horror of their true relationship is revealed!
Editor's Note
A young man (Julian Pastor) is completing an assignment for a video class. With his aunt's place offering a perfect set up for a hidden camera experiment, he invites Marieda (Maria Rojo of MIDAQ ALLEY) over to rehearse a video drama that will be recorded in the future. Marieda is unaware that she is being filmed as the acting duo turn art into life during a simulated sex scene which soon turns into passionate lovemaking. The young man is now concerned as he holds shocking information in this erotic Mexican drama. Jaime Humberto Hermosillo (DONA HERLINDA AND HER SON), one of Mexico's most celebrated film artists, broadens ideas he had explored with his pervious film HOMEWORK. Using a static camera approach that is deceptively elaborate, Hermosillo stuns with both style and taboo content in this overlooked gem. Winner of the Best Picture and Best Actress Award at the Havana Film Festival.
