Expat Cinema Meetup: The Beloved

At Expat Cinema Meet-Up: we screen recent foreign language films with English subtitles. Afterwards we get together to chat and network over a drink.

The Beloved is an intense father-daughter drama by Oscar-nominated director Rodrigo Sorogoyen (Las Bestias, Madre) that premiered in competition at the Cannes Film Festival. Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men, Skyfall) delivers one of the most layered performances of his career, with Victoria Luengo (The Room Next Door, Amarga Navidad) as a convincing co-star. With The Beloved, Sorogoyen tells a layered and gripping story about the dynamics between parents and children, artistry, and the fine line between love and manipulation.
