about a young, repressed butch woman whose strange grifter parents tether her to a life of mistrust and loneliness before a charismatic stranger . Larraín makes the film’s many and montaged sex scenes heated without exploiting the actors’ openness or the characters’ arousal. The camera’s focus is desire and connection and not only the physicality of the act.
The dancing, too, takes this arc. Gastón’s choreography is based on folk traditions, but his young, sexy dancers grow tired of its appropriative and staid conditions in the modern Chilean context. They want to do reggaeton, the dancehall-derived pop musical tradition of Latin America , which has. The result is uneven, with a film that tries to visually depict a desirous female exuberance—sometimes convincingly, sometimes awkwardly.
It’s an extreme proposition, and like much of the film, open to various interpretations. Perhaps Ema is speaking metaphorically here; maybe she is challenging the intimate boundaries of parenthood as a provocation. Maybe, as a young girl who met an older artist after her own father’s suicide, familial love has always bled into sensuality for her.
