Inwood Art Works – Film Works Alfresco: Casa de mi Padre

Casa de mi Padre

Monday, July 19, 2021 – 84 minutes. Comedic Western in Spanish with English subtitles (2012, Mexico). Appropriate for Young Adult. Pre-show local musical performance begin at 8:00pm.

Scheming on a way to save their father’s ranch, the Alvarez brothers (Diego Luna and Will Ferrell) find themselves in a war with Mexico’s most feared drug lord. This bat-crazy satire of the Mexican telenovela, replete with flimsy scenery, soapy dialogue, and over-the-top characters, is also daring and stylistically bold experiment in cinema.

Programming:

8pm – Pre-show featuring local music

8:30pm (approximately) – Feature Presentation

Programming will take place rain or shine at The Hudson, located at Dyckman Marina in Inwood Hill Park, 348 Dyckman Street, New York, NY 10034. Food and drink available for purchase until 9pm.
