“If you believe in your characters and they’re not just an artifice, any situation that you put them through, be it a little bit ridiculous, humiliating, funny, or very earnest, it’s going to come out naturally like that.”

    ROTTING IN THE SUN

    SEBASTIÁN SILVA United States, 2023

    Getting sucked into an infinite loop of drugs, men and dizzying mystery? That’s one cure for writer’s block! Frolicking and squabbling across the beaches, clubs, and rooftops of Mexico, Sebastián Silva and Jordan Firstman play hilarious versions of themselves in this absurd and sexy meta-comedy.

    CRYSTAL FAIRY & THE MAGICAL CACTUS

    SEBASTIÁN SILVA Chile, 2013

    The classic tale of clueless youths seeking hallucinogenic euphoria gets a funky twist in Sebastián Silva’s Sundance-winning road trip through the majestic plains of Chile. As American tourists caught in a battle of will, Michael Cera and Gaby Hoffmann are equal parts discomfiting and hilarious.

    THE MAID

    SEBASTIÁN SILVA Chile, 2009

    Winner of the Grand Prize at Sundance and a Golden Globe nominee for Best Foreign Film, The Maid is a beautifully drawn and stunningly well-acted domestic drama—tense, and ultimately touching. With her magnificent lead performance, Catalina Saavedra conquered the festival circuit.
