The Dead Mother

A radical and disturbing work, The Dead Mother is undoubtedly the most significant film by Juanma Bajo Ulloa, one of the leading filmmakers of the Spanish generation of the 90s. Winner of awards at the Montreal Film Festival and the Fantasporto Festival, the film made an impression with its formal audacity and emotional intensity. And for a little local pride, it features the unforgettable Lio, an emblematic figure... who reminds us that Belgian talent can also shine in the darkest corners of genre cinema.
