Club Sandwich, a Mexican movie by the writer
director Fernando Eimbcke was screened under the competition category. The film
was given the award for the best film at the 31stedition of the
Turin Film festival. The film sketches the life of a thirty five year old
mother and her fifteen year old boy. Their relationship is so special and their
bonding is strong. Throughout the film, we see the boy Hector spreading sun
block lotion all over his body. But viewing this from a different perspective,
we can analyse the phases undergone by Hector in his life. The story gets a new
turn with the arrival of a sixteen year old Jasmin who comes there to stay with
her dad. The boy reaches his puberty and evaluates sex from different angles.
Finally his mother realises the truth that his son is no more the old baby
clinging to her for everything. The passage of biological clock has made
alterations in his entire outlook. Throughout the film the sound of whirring
fans, chirping birds and waves hitting sand strive to coax the viewers into the
relaxed state of a vacationer.

I
really liked the background and setting of the movie. The director has
successfully portrayed the mother child relationship with all its intensity.
