Teta asustada, La
Milk of Sorrow, The
The delicate Fausta has been infected with "the sickness of sorrow" already in her mother's milk. Fausta's sadness is an allegory of the torture and rape endured by tens of thousands of Peruvian women during Peru's years of terror in the 1980s. In the film that won the Golden Bear at the Berlinale, Claudia Llosa has dressed her startling statement into a dazzlingly beautiful form.
