A young couple from Mexico City discovers that an Iowa college campus is an unlikely but idyllic place to save their troubled marriage after philandering actor Eligio (Gael García Bernal, Mozart in the Jungle; Y Tu Mamá También; Neruda, MVFF 2016) follows wife Susana (Verónica Echegui, Hunter's Prayer) to a writers' workshop in the United States. Director Roberto Sneider finds a well of humor in the clash of cultures in this nuanced romantic comedy, while Bernal is pitch-perfect, imbuing Elgio with complexity, devilish charm, and sly charisma. It is easy to see what Susana sees in her wayward spouse. As You're Killing Me, Susana shines a light on this couple's habits, it draws us into a mercurial partnership that ping pongs between simmering tension and deep passion. Sharp dialogue and Victor Hernández Stumpfhauser's evocative score further enhance this lively adaptation of a José Agustín novel. (Mill Valley Film Festival)
