Conversations on Hatred
“Conversations on Hatred” by Vera Fogwill from Argentina narrates a real-time story of a farewell between two terminally ill women. In this intimate and deep conversation, they discuss their views on maternity, friendship, and their ways of dealing with the disease. A brilliant conversation starts, which reminds us all of the best cinema had to offer in the past.
This outstanding drama with renowned Spanish star Cecilia Roth (who was born in Argentina but is best known for her excellent performance in “All About My Mother” and the amazing Maricel Álvarez proves in the most remarkable way that if you have an innovative script, brilliant actresses, a clear visual concept and a dedicated director, you do not need a huge Hollywood budget or tons of special effects to make a highly intelligent, entertaining and daring film about very important issues of our times.
