Tres
Directors: Robert Weiermair, Anna Christopher, and Paula Christensen
Showing: May 29, 8pm, MTC
Tres gives us three high-quality artistic renderings of the poetry of Argentinian filmmaker Carlos Hugo Christensen. In the first, A Casa, a boy lives with his separated parents’ emotional tug-of-war. Can he really understand? In the second, Tuesday in Copacabana, a pretty seaside-going young lady beholds a flirtatious hunk encountering a rather strange pitfall. In Voyage, the third and most beautiful, a young man’s father ushers him into the garden of manhood by introducing him to the paradise of passion to be found in the arms of a gorgeous young courtesan.
