Synopsis: With last year’s The Maid (ND/NF 2009) and now with Old Cats, co-directed with Pedro Peirano, Sebastián Silva has emerged as one of cinema’s greatest young talents, mining the hilarity and horror of the nuclear family. Claudia Celedón and Catalina Saavedra—who, respectively, played la señora and the titular domestic servant in The Maid—star as girlfriends Rosario and Hugo, hapless schemers always borrowing money from Isadora and Enrique, Rosario’s ailing mother and stepfather. When Isadora refuses to be swindled once again by her daughter, Rosario erupts in tears and recriminations, her hysterics setting off several outrageously funny scenes. A master of tonal shifts, Silva seamlessly transforms his family farce into a weightier look at the responsibilities that parents and their offspring alike must face.
