PERUVIAN FILM ABOUT CULTURE, CLASS AND FOOD

MISTURA: A PERUVIAN FILM ABOUT A SOCIETY WOMAN'S PERSONAL AND POLITICAL REHABILITATION THROUGH FOOD

On tonight’s show, we’ll be joined by filmmaker Ricardo de Montreuil to discuss his newly released film Mistura, about Norma, an upper-class Paris-born Peruvian who is dumped by her husband in Lima, Peru, 1965. How she rehabilitates herself by starting a restaurant with her former servants and integrating herself and them into the diverse  fabric of Peruvian culture and cuisine, is the story of the film.  

Ricardo de Montreuil is a feature film and commercial director based in Los Angeles, but born in Lima, Peru. His debut film La Mujer de mi Hermano became one of Latin America’s and the United States of America’s top box?office successes; his follow?up, Máncora, premiered at Sundance and major festival screenings, including SXSW and the Miami Int’l Film Festival. He directed  Lowriders for Universal, and the Once Upon a Time in Aztlan pilot for Amazon Studios and STX.

Hosted by Janet Coleman and David Dozer
