Follow Us on Twitter @heraldpub The Second Mother is a Culturally Crowd-Pleasing Number About Family By Jared Anderson for CINEMACY The Second Mother is set in Sao Paulo, Brazil (a place where the Grammy-Award winning alt-rock band Arcade Fire is referred to as “The Arcade Fire”). The film (Que horas ela volta?) follows the eponymous character Val (Regina Casé), a housekeeper for a considerably wealthy family. It’s not an understatement to say her job has become her life, evidenced when her daughter Jéssica (Camila Márdila) flies into town, and end up only staying in the house. The main conflict here is in Val’s struggle to identify with a daughter she never quite got to raise. At one point she even relies upon the opinion of the family’s son to get a sense of what her own daughter is like. The Second Mother is a mostly quiet picture. Music is scarce, and camera angles, if not static, move slowly. Scenes within the house are almost claustrophobic due to how these angles repeat themselves throughout, very astutely mirroring the routine of Val’s life. Aside from one sequence, set in a high-rise, the surrounding city is never really explored (except for that it rains a lot). But these elements make the film contained, focused, and even intimate in its storytelling. It must be said, Regina Casé shines in the lead role as Val. She is a graceful presence as an immediately empathetic and cordial character. Val is visibly frustrated by her position – she overthinks how to organize a new coffee table set, is bothered by the family dog, and can’t seem to stop Jessica from eating the family’s chocolate ice cream. Everybody in The Second Mother seems perpetually frustrated and vicariously argumentative, which feeds what is most interesting and entertaining here: the dynamics and dialogues between characters. The Second Mother is a film primarily about thickness of bonds, how we concern ourselves with the opinions and approvals of those outside our family, and how they seem to mean more when they are earned. The family’s son reaches out to his “second mother” over his first for this reason. But the film is moreover a character study about Val’s shortcomings as a first mother herself. That said, while the movie is more dramatic than comedic, it has a natural levity that lends itself to a something deeply felt but also feel-good. The Second Mother is now playing in LA at the Laemmle Royal. • puz MEDIUM 09.10.15 PUZZLE - 190 Merry Monarchs by Myles Mellor WEEKLY CROSSWORD See Answers Next Week Letter Drop 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 Across 1.
