[MFA] XXY (2007) [2005-05-21]
trailer: from the director of Lucía y el sexo... Caótica Ana
This looks interesting, and apparently it's kicking off a 13-film Festival of New Cinema from Spain (June 19-29). However, June 19 is a Thursday, which means I'm previously committed. Ooh, it's showing Saturday, June 28, 2008, at 7:20 pm, too -- though Gary's retirement party is that day at 4pm.

XXY by Lucia Puenzo (Argentina, 2007, 91 min.). Alex is a fifteen-year-old struggling to keep a dark secret. Soon after her birth, her parents decide to leave Buenos Aires to settle in isolation in the dunes of the Uruguayan shoreline. When friends from Buenos Aires visit with their sixteen-year-old son, Álvaro, the inevitable attraction between the teenagers forces them all to face their worst fears. As rumors spread around town, people's fascination with Alex may become dangerous. "XXY [is] a study of teen angst that's grounded in more than simply nebulous emotion...its sensitive treatment of an equally sensitive theme elevates it into something memorable" (Variety). Spanish with English subtitles.
