Rating: 3.5/5 -- Takes a wry and observant look at human interaction. And along the way it subtly pokes fun at the machismo in Latino society. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

Whisky - An inspired and beautifully assured tragic-comedy about Jacobo, a sixty-year-old owner of a small, outdated sock factory, is illuminated with deadpan, repetitive, and monotonous detail. When his successful younger brother is expected for a visit, Jacobo asks Marta, his humble, loyal assistant, to pose as his wife. The brother, lively, inquisitive, and open, spontaneously suggests a seaside trip during which the three characters begin to reveal themselves in situations where farce, jealousy and betrayal lead to places of no return. Juan Pablo Rebella and Pablo Stoll have created a sophisticated, quiet film that tells a story through understatement and modest gestures. "Global cinema at its best. A truly great film!" Film Threat "Profound, deadpan comedy... a pleasure!" New York Times Whisky is an official selection of the prestigious, award-winning Global Lens Collection presented by the Global Film Initiative. In Spanish with English subtitles.
