Director: Julio Torres
Starring: Catalina Saavedra | Isabella Rossellini | Julio Torres | RZA | Tilda Swinton
Michael says: “I was fairly underwhelmed. Tilda Swinton was her usual self, entertaining to watch, but the film struck an odd tone between zany/funny and melancholy/dour, which didn’t really work for me. Unfortunately, I saw it at the 2023 PIFF,
