ITALIAN:

Sono trascorsi dieci anni da quando il figlio di Elena, di sei anni, è scomparso. L’ultima volta che lei lo ha sentito è stato con una telefonata, in cui il bambino le diceva di essersi perso in una spiaggia in Francia e di non riuscire a trovare il padre. Oggi Elena vive su quella stessa spiaggia, dove gestisce un ristorante. Sta finalmente iniziando a emergere dalla tragedia che l’ha colpita quando conosce un ragazzo francese che le ricorda il figlio perduto. I due cominciano un rapporto che seminerà caos e sfiducia intorno a loro.

ENGLISH:

Ten years have passed since Elena’s six-year-old son disappeared. The last time she heard from him was with a phone call, in which the child told her that he was lost on a beach in France and that he couldn’t find his father. Today Elena lives on that same beach, where she runs a restaurant. She is finally starting to emerge from the tragedy that has struck her when she meets a French boy who reminds her of her lost son. The two begin a relationship that will sow chaos and distrust around them.

Know you’re in for a wild emotional ride when the word “mother” is in the title of a movie. Darren Aronofsky wrought biblical hell upon us with “mother!,” Bong Joon Ho showed us that you could be perhaps too good a mom in “Mother,” and Pedro Almodóvar painted a ravishing ode to screen goddesses with “All About My Mother.” (Oh, and in the French film “Ma Mère,” Isabelle Huppert dabbles in incest.) Enter Rodrigo Sorogoyen‘s “Madre” into the canon of warped movies about motherhood. Marta Nieto turns in a great performance in this intimate yet epically shot drama about how a mother’s worst nightmare sparks a fleeting but unforgettable connection. What could’ve been an exploitative affair between a mother and the doppelgänger of her lost child is instead a certainly unsettling but strangely touching new movie.

Set against the clammy coastal enclave of a French beach town, “Madre” revolves (often quite literally, as much of the film appears to have been shot on a pivoting gimbal) around Elena (Nieto) as the mother of a missing child. Ten years prior to the central events of the movie — and presaged by a harrowing single-take sequence that contains one of the most excruciating phone calls in cinematic history — Elena’s son went missing while on a trip with his father. Nieto potently captures Elena’s panic as it becomes apparent that the boy, then six years old, is being kidnapped in real time.
