Cinequest Best Bet, Feb. 25

This afternoon’s best bet, according to Metro critic Steve Palopoli, is the Argentine head-scratcher

Green Waters

(Argentina; 90 min.) The bastard child of some scandalous three-way between Hitchcock thrillers, Polanski mind-melt flicks and ’70s paranoia films, Green Waters just might be the most intense movie you’ll see at Cinequest. First-time Argentine writer-director Mariano De Rosa has taken the simple story of a family on a seaside vacation (at Green Waters, thus the title) and turned it into a sometimes funny, sometimes creepy—but always riveting—portrait of one father seemingly on the road to Crazy Town. Or is he? That’s the question the true paranoia gems keep you asking, right? And there’s a quiver of question marks riddling the first half, as father Juan (Alenjandro Fiore Milagrow) seems to be ruining the family vacation with his obsessive suspicion about his teenage daughter, Laura (Julieta Morav), and a mysterious, good-looking stranger she meets at a gas station who seems to have followed them to their destination. Incredibly, the film only gets more enigmatic and freaky from there, as whispers, glances, cruel smiles and power plays threaten to crack Juan up for good. Is everyone really out to get him? I’m not entirely sure even now, but the end is a shocker no matter how you look at it. Green Waters has more psychosexual subtext than anything I’ve seen out of the United States in a long time.
