Ema
directed by Pablo Larraín, Chile 2019, 102' (English friendly)
Elusive as a flame, the seductive Ema kindles a fire wherever she goes. Dancing is her whole life – and she is ready to sacrifice everything for her passion. Together with her husband, a choreographer, they make a controversial decision, which causes her old world to collapse. But in the ruins of the old world, a new one begins to grow – a world wherein women can dance as they wish, family is not determined by kinship, and everyone creates the choreography of their own life. In this new world, Ema loses herself even more in the sexual, aggressive reggaeton. Larraín's film is a new cinema manifesto, which listens to the rhythm of life and learns the language of the new generation. And instead of telling stories – it dances.
