Blame it on Fidel

The fiercely logical Anna lives a comfortable life in early 1970s Spain with her French journalist mother and Spanish lawyer father, until her life is turned upside down when her parents become political activists and she finds herself shifted to a cramped apartment where strange, bearded revolutionaries turn up during the night. A charming and thoughtful film, the first drama from documentary director Julie Gavras.

"Perfectly capturing the era's flawed idealism, this is a little gem." Empire

Dir Julie Gavras, France 2006, 99 mins

An ICA Films release. Opens in the UK Friday 19 October.

I so agree. Adorable little munchkin. I loved the way he looked at his sister (very content with himself) when their mum told her he knew about the change of nanny!

Lunch: mix the politics of middle age and the adolescent yearing for autonomy, then serve it out of the mouth of a kid.

This film is not in Spain. It happens in Paris and Bordeaux (at the end a little bit of Spain).
