Tuesday, November 17th at 7PM brings The Second Mother.
Bozeman Film Society is proud to join ASMSU Films, MSU Foreign Language Department and the MSU Office of International Programs to bring two 2015 acclaimed foreign films to MSU’s Procrastinator Theater this November as part of the Can the Griz food drive, a fundraiser for the Gallatin Valley Food Bank.
Tuesday, November 17th at 7PM brings The Second Mother. An excitingly fresh take on some classic themes and ideas, The Second Mother centers around Val, a hard-working live-in housekeeper in modern day Sao Paulo. Val is perfectly content to take care of every one of her wealthy employers’ needs, from cooking and cleaning to being a surrogate mother to their teenage son, who she has raised since he was a toddler. But when Val’s estranged daughter Jessica suddenly shows up the unspoken but intrinsic class barriers that exist within the home are thrown into disarray. Jessica is smart, confident, and ambitious, and refuses to accept the upstairs/downstairs dynamic, testing relationships and loyalties and forcing everyone to reconsider what family really means. Indiewire film critic, Sidney LevIn calls it “One of the most accomplished, sure-handed films of the 2015 Sundance Film festival.” In Portuguese with subtitles,The Second Mother runs 114 minutes. Rated R. Rotten Tomatoe Score 95%.
Admission to Procrastinator films is $2.00; $1.00 with a food donation to Can the Griz food drive. Parking is South of the SUB on the corner of 7th and Grant. For more information and previews for both film visit www.bozemanfilmsociety.org. “Keep ‘Em Flickering!”
