November – Arte 2007 / Marquez!
- This Week:
Nov. 1 – Ruy Guerra's "Erendira"
"A tantalizing blend of black comedy, eroticism and mysticism adapted from a novel by Gabriel García Márquez. Erendira (Claudia Ohana) has a strange and wondrous vision; shortly afterward, her grandmother's house burns down. The witch-like grandmother, played brilliantly by Irene Papas, gets her revenge by forcing Erendira to become a prostitute. As the clients become increasingly prosperous (along with grandma) and endless, Erendira keeps her wits about her by experiencing even more bizarre visions. Veteran European character actor Michel Lonsdale is brilliant in his cameo as a hypocritical senator." — Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide.

“Perhaps the most important revelation I came to was an empathy for the ancient Peruvian idea of animism which adheres to the belief that life force, in the forms of spirits, can be found in all things, animate and inanimate.” - Brian Ransom
