Live-in Maid
Jorge Gaggero, Director
Won a Special Jury Prize at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival
Jorge Gaggero's astutely observed comedy of manners examines the complicated long-term relationship of Beba (Norma Aleandro), an upper-middle-class Buenos Aires divorcee, and Dora (Norma Argentina), Beba's indispensible live-in maid. Alas, after a 30-year near-symbiotic partnership, things are about to change as Beba confronts the fact that she is broke and will have to work for a living. Praised by Salon as "subtle and pitch-perfect … exquisite, diamond-tipped filmmaking," LIVE-IN MAID won the Special Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. (2004) NR (83 mins)
