The Milk of Sorrow
Dir: Claudia Llosa, 100 minutes, 2009
“As tense as a clenched fist and just as communicative, Fausta (Magaly Solier), the heroine of “The Milk of Sorrow,” scuttles around her mountainside neighborhood in Lima, peering from beneath bangs like guillotine blades. Her mother has just died, leaving Fausta with a deathbed song of rape and violence suffered during “the terrors,”Peru’s decades of civil strife. As a defense against similar violations — and, indeed, any sexual connection — Fausta has blocked her vagina with a potato, oblivious to the physical consequences.” Jeanette CaTsoulis, New York Times
