Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
The always charming, perfect and spoiled Sofia, the queen bee of her group of friends, faces the unimaginable—her social decay. The year is 1982 and an economic crisis is hitting Mexico. Cracks appear in Sofia and her husband’s manicured lives, as the social and economic order shifts around them.
Opulence turns sour in Alejandra Márquez Abella’s sophomore feature, a slick and delightfully corrosive look at the downfall of the 80s Mexican jet set. Topped by Ilse Salas’ brilliant turn as a desperate housewife of the era, this wicked satire becomes a class nightmare Buñuel would approve of.
