Las Muertes Chiquitas (2010)

In Mexico in 2006, a small miracle sets in motion - not the one you’re thinking of involving a sainted virgin of Guadalupe. What commences is work on a film: artist/filmmaker Mireia Sallarés from Barcelona begins interviewing, in complete intimacy, nearly 30 Mexican women about being female and their sexual experience. The result is explosive – a wild, fivehour film titled Las Muertes Chiquitas, (in French, le petite mort, or The Little Deaths... colloquial for female orgasm in both countries). The result is perhaps the most revolutionary, inviting and provocative non-fiction film since Luis Bunuel’s Land Without Bread, Leslie Thornton’s Adynata, or Farocki’s Images of the World and Inscriptions of War – none of which this film resembles.
The film’s subtitle, an unfinished story of pleasure and Oct. 10 - Thursday - 3:00 p.m. violence, outlines the hidden story. There is abundant sexual This public interview will be led by violence against women in Mexico. Intense repression is filmmaker Jill Godmilow described by the women, but there is also extremely sophisticated thinking about pleasure. One woman says her orgasm is “like grabbing onto the wings of an angel who lowers me down to the ground.” Sallarés’ correspondents are prepared to talk about their histories – not just the violence, but also the relationship between violence, sexuality, and spiritual revelation. Take a look at this film... whatever it takes. – Jill Godmilow, Filmmaker Events are sponsored in part by The Kinsey Institute. Special thanks to Jill Godmilow, Milos Stehlik and Facets Multimedia. In Spanish language with English subtitles. (DigiBeta. 150 min/part. Not Rated.)
