We’ve talked about some of these films already (see below), but some are new…and all in all, this Friday offers a great illustration of just how wide and deep the Latino presence is in Hollywood these days. Here on the Ides of March:
Spanish director Pablo Berger’s beautiful and bizarre retelling of Show White, Blancanieves, enjoys a limited opening.
Kate del Castillo plays a slightly insane transsexual convict in the extremely strange K-11.
Selena Gomez moves to the adult table in a strange and sexy film Spring Breakers, directed by Harmony Korine.
Breakout indie star (from Parks & Recreation to Safety Not Guarranted) Aubrey Plaza is one of the voices in Goro Miyasaki’s newest masterpiece, Up from Poppy Hill.
Oscar Nuñez (The Office) is part of the ensemble in a new rom com, Language of a Broken Heart, opening in L.A.
Argentine director Juan Diego Solanas, the son of famed Argentine director Fernando E. Solanas, premieres an off-kilter science fiction film, Upside Down, starring Kirsten Dunst.
The Girl, directed by David Riker, writer/director of La Ciudad. The film–nominated for Best Narrative film at the prestigious Tribeca Film Festival—the cast includes Will Patton, Abbie Cornish, Maritza Santiago, Giovanna Zacarías, Raúl Castillo, Luci Christian and Austin West—opens in a limited release. We spoke about it here.
All strange…and all true!
