Latin Grooves 2010 / Director: Jorge Michel Grau
We Are What We Are
Doing for an impoverished Mexican family what Let the Right One In did for Swedish kids in puberty, Jorge Michel Grau's We Are What We Are reps a skillfully mannered genre-bender that tackles the queasy subject of cannibalism. Focusing with superb aesthetics on a clan of flesh-eaters who, following their father's demise, are forced to bring home the bacon themselves, pic begins by tracing the death's effect on three sheltered siblings and then heads slowly but surely toward thriller territory before culminating in mucha sangre. A meaty diet of arthouses and cult followers awaits this Cannes Directors' Fortnight selection.
