SEPTEMBERS

Posted on Saturday, November 29

Chicago premiere!
SEPTEMBERS/SEPTIEMBRES
2007, Carles Bosch, Spain, 98 min.

“The redemptive power of love and song flows powerfully through SEPTEMBERS. The documentary takes eight inmates, mostly inside for minor offenses, with one thing in common: they are all participants in an annual karaoke competition run by the Spanish prison system. They include Arturo, a Gypsy whose wife has an enormous tattoo of him on her chest; Gardoqui, formerly the drummer of a well-known ‘80s rock band; an ex-junkie; and Beto, a gay Argentinian who calls his grandmother from prison to tell her the white lie that he’s on a cruise.” In Spanish with English subtitles. Beta SP video.—Jonathan Holland, Variety
