Join Us for a Special LA Screening of ‘Memories of a Burning Body’, Costa Rica's Oscar submission for the Best International Feature Film ? December 3 ? Lumiere Cinema at the Music Hall ?️ bit.ly/memoriesofaburningbody-la ? Stay for an engaging Q&A with director Antonella Sudasassi after the screening! Synopsis: Raised in a repressive era where sexuality was taboo, Ana, Patricia, and Mayela found their understanding of womanhood based on unspoken rules and implicit impositions. Now, their fearless voices incarnate in a single 65-year-old woman, who revisits a kaleidoscopic life of intertwined memories, secrets, and hidden desires. Costa Rican director Antonella Sudasassi Furniss delves into the private lives and sexuality of middle-aged women who have been oppressed all their lives, focusing on Ana (68 years old), Patricia (69), and Mayela (71). The film premiered at the Berlinale Panorama, where it won the Audience Award, and continued its festival journey with another Audience Award at the Busan Film Festival’s Flash Forward section. What critics are saying: “The stifling taboos around female sexuality, love and desire are recalled with admirable candour in a film that poignantly balances insight, humour and heartfelt emotion.” – Screen International “It all seems so effortless and natural that you don’t at first notice how complex the staging is and how pleasing the storytelling rhythms.” – Observer ✨ Don’t miss your chance to see this extraordinary film and join the conversation with the director!
