The Milk of Sorrow, Aug 9th, 3pm



Probably a bit late with this, but I should've mentioned that the Berlin Golden Bear winner of this year - The Milk of Sorrow (dir. Claudia Llosa) is getting a one-off screening at the Chauvel tomorrow. I missed it on my recent trip to the Melbourne Film fest, but it's reportedly a must-see, and should deserve far better than its designation as 'the potato-vagina movie', which makes it sound batshit-insane, when it's actually an "incisive, carefully observed" film, and that "As potentially sensational as the film's subject matter may be, Llosa treats the material with an appropriate restraint" (Andrew Schenker, Slant Magazine).

More details here.
