CONTENT WARNING:
Writer/Director Sergio Tovar Velarde brings his latest feature The Divine Tragedy to Boston for its World Premiere. Set in Mexico City, Cristián (Artús Chávez) is a former telenovela actor used to a life of luxury. When his husband of 24 years kicks him out, he is forced to move in with his hard-partying, messy gay half-brother, Roy (played by the hypnotic Pablo Gómez). The two wildly different men must learn to coexist as Cristián tries reinventing himself and Roy confronts the reality of his hedonistic lifestyle. Sergio Tovar Velarde’s drama/comedy (heavily influenced by pop aesthetics, comics, anime, and Almodovar-esque over-the-top characters) breathes fresh air into contemporary queer cinema. As the director himself says, “It’s a film that celebrates the right to reinvent oneself, to fail without guilt, to make a fool of oneself, and to start over.”
This film is presented in Spanish with English subtitles.
