The Heiresses (2018)
(Las herederas)
Country: PARA/GER/URU/BRA/NOR/FR
Technical: col/2.35:1 98m
Director: Marcelo Martinessi
Cast: Ana Brun, Margarita Irun, Ana Ivanova
Synopsis:
A middle-aged lesbian couple is separated when one has to go to prison for fraud (apparently non-payment of a debt in Paraguay counts as fraud). The saturnine remaining partner takes to driving her neighbour and her friends to card games, and becomes erotically obsessed with a younger woman she meets there.
Review:
L'amour met en avant', or so they say, and the lead character's gradual loss of her family heritage, in the form of her personal possessions, is a recurring motif leading to her eventual emancipation. It is an unexpected turn in a film that offers little in the way of gay reassurance, so to speak. Shot almost exclusively over her shoulder, the film is an intimate portrait of disorientation and disillusion.
