Showcase is readying to send a shiver down Cannes’ spine, presenting eight upcoming films – in pre and post-production – on Friday.
The director adds: “It was written before the pandemic but it has adjusted to this world perfectly: here, an invisible evil is also spreading. You have to follow some rules to keep it away, there are people who believe in it and people who don’t, there are conspiracy theories and madness that doesn’t differentiate between the rich and the poor.
“The story takes nourishment from things that happened in Argentina’s dark past. It can also relate to other countries where women were confined for reasons that only served those in charge,” she says. “I don’t really know if we are ‘allowed to take more risks’ [these days] but we do allow ourselves to take them,” says Ruiz, with Garateguy adding: “I always take risks in my films. Those women, who are no longer here, keep screaming through us. Genre films allow me, as a director, to represent latent truth through extreme, fictional stories.”
“My major inspiration is the place where I live: I grew up listening to myths and legends. But the most important starting point was a femicide that took place in 2014. That was the moment when we decided to expose these macabre acts committed by men who use their personal beliefs to justify what they have done.
