Ema

Product Description

Little was left of the union between volatile Santiago dancer Ema (Mariana Di Girolamo) and her choreographer husband Gastón (Gael García Bernal) after disturbing behavior on the part of their adoptive son Polo (Cristián Suárez) caused them to return the boy to the system. Ema's own fracturing sanity, however, ultimately propels her on a subversive campaign to get Polo back. Pablo Larraín's disquieting opus co-stars Paola Giannini, Santiago Cabrera. 102 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Spanish; Subtitles: English. In Spanish with English subtitles.

A darkly sensual fable of motherhood and the modern family…imbued with a sense of the surreal. --Katie Walsh, Los Angeles Times

One of the most ambitious and visually stunning films of the year --Robert Daniels, The Playlist
