The Milk of Sorrow
From Peruvian director Claudina Llosa comes a brilliant and provocative film about the terror and violence that plagued Peru following the uprising of the Maoist group in the 1980s. Influenced by the belief that the trauma experienced by women who were raped and sexually assaulted by the security force was passed on to their children via breast milk, Llosa skillfully represents the fear and the consequences of Peru’s tremulous recent history. The Milk of Sorrow won the 2009 Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival and was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Picture at the Academy Awards.
The Milk of Sorrow is playing Friday, November 12 at 7:00 p.m., Monday, November 15 at 9:30 p.m. andWednesday, November 17 at 7:00 p.m. in Willard Straight Hall.
