La Ola Argentina 2008 / Director: Jorge Gaggero
Live-in Maid
The small, well-acted chamber drama is a genre that has virtually disappeared from American screens, which is too bad when you see one as accomplished as Live-in Maid. Powered by two first-rate performances, Jorge Gaggero’s debut feature is full of psychological nuance and keen social observation. It’s an impressive feat and one that should find an audience in art houses worldwide.– JAMES GREENBERG, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
The film gives an intimate portrait of a complex 30-year relationship and shows a side of Latin America rarely seen in the U.S. – – Live-in Maid explores the emotional side of the reality of two societies living in very close, often intimate, proximity without dwelling on the politics or resorting to polemic. It paints a lovely, intimate portrait of a complex relationship – –. Despite marked socioeconomic differences, on a macro level, everyone is in the same boat.
