Gemini
Directed by Albertina Carri1h 25m2005
An incestuous love affair. Meme and Jeremias are the younger children in a typical bourgeois family. Their mother Lucia is the dominant force in the household, but her fixation on upholding the niceties of upper middle class life has prevented her from seeing what is going on under her roof. When the siblings’ older brother and his fiancee arrive home for their wedding, it seems inevitable that the concealment will be impossible to sustain. But equally it becomes apparent that if Lucia were to find out about the affair, there would be catastrophic consequences.
Our read: Gemini (2005) reads as a heavy, measured, grounded drama entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
Heavy, measured, measured drama, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, cold.
