Episode 64 of One Week Only! This week's key film is "Hermia & Helena," the new film by Argentinian director Matías Piñeiro. A playful comedy about relationships and personal change, it follows Camila, a playwright in Buenos Ares, as she moves to New York for an artistic residency to work on her Spanish translation of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream." A fun mix of romantic comedy and identity drama, with a healthy dose of Shakespearean wit & wisdom, it's a smart reinvention of a classic text for the modern era. (35:20)
We also review the kidnapping thriller "Berlin Syndrome" starring Teresa Palmer, directed by Cate Shortland (6:35); the Israeli box-office hit "The Women's Balcony" directed by Emil Ben-Shimon (15:05); and the conceptual art film "Manifesto" starring Cate Blanchett in 13 unique roles, directed by Julian Rosefeldt (25:00).
