Synopsis:

A thoroughly engaging family portrait that doubles as the memoir of a Spanish generation on the verge of extinction, Luis Minarro's "Familystrip" is largely driven by the force of nature that is the helmer's mother. Minarro (a producer on recent Cannes Palme d'Or winner "Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives") records the recollections of his two aging parents as they sit for a literal portrait, the result combining joy and melancholy into an emotionally rich whole. Docu seems made for the fest circuit, though its focus on specifically Spanish issues could restrict interest outside Hispanic territories.

An improvised film that meant to be a 'family present', suddenly becomes the chronic of a generation that disappears. It transfers in a oral way, the resonances of a country touched by Catholicism and the Spanish Civil War. A sober, unaffected film fulfilled of life sparks.
