Mexico 86

When a revolutionary’s son comes to live with her after 10 years apart, she is torn between maternal instinct and political activism that could put both their lives in danger. When activist Maria (Bérénice Béjo, in one of her finest roles to date) witnesses her husband being gunned down on the street by corrupt police, she is forced to leave her baby son with her mother (Julietta Ergurola) and flee Guatemala. Ten years later a shift in circumstances means Maria and Marco (Matheo Labbé) are thrust back together, even as her dangerous revolutionary schemes threaten their lives. Director César Díaz draws on his own relationship with his mum to craft this taut thriller that delivers tension at the same time as offering a nuanced exploration of mother and son dynamics.
