A TOXIC MOTHER-SON RELATIONSHIP IS PUSHED TO ITS LIMITS BY A TERMINAL ILLNESS IN DIRECTOR EDUARDO CASANOVA’S FEROCIOUSLY UNIQUE, VISUALLY STUNNING FILM
SYNOPSIS
Mateo and his mother Lili (Ángela Molina) have been inseparable for years. The two share an apartment, answer questions for each other, and spend practically all their moments together. But this bond becomes fraught when Lili is diagnosed with a fatal illness. With the limited time Lili has left, the pair take their toxic mother-son relationship to extreme ends.
From provocateur Eduardo Casanova, La Pietà is a “gorgeously vulgar and shocking” work unlike any other (ScreenAnarchy). Winner of the Special Jury Award at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, Casanova’s latest film is a “strange, yet surprisingly heart-breaking film” that encapsulates “bizarre art horror at its finest” (Dread Central).
