Fourteen

The decade-long friendship between Jo (Norma Kuhling) and Mara (Tallie Medel) represents a new and exciting chapter in the series of portraits of “uneven relationships” that populate Dan Sallitt’s work. The contrast between Mara’s search for stability and Jo’s progressive immersion in chaos is the backbone of this meticulous study of characters, with which Sallitt once again makes the most of a observation on everyday life and a diaphanous mise-en-scène, charged with restrained emotion.
