LADY JANE
(Robert Guediguian, Francia, 2008, 104 min.)
Men touch each other with blows. An energetic duo about masculine construction. A deconstruction of the contemporary virile behaviour, acclaimed by some and questioned by many. CLINCH in boxing is the moment in which the two boxers hug and block each other until the referee separates them. This movement is about getting as close as possible to your rival to protect yourself from their attack. CLINCH exposes the most toxic masculinity, established in the competition, the denial and the confrontation to all that is different. Furthermore, the denial of feelings, excluding rage or fury, that must be demonstrated through the exercise of violence.
Tres amigos, dos hombres y una mujer, que se dedicaban a robar abrigos de pieles para regalárselos a los obreros de su barrio, se vuelven a encontrar algunos años después. La causa es el secuestro del hijo de la mujer. (FILMAFFINITY)
