MISS TACUAREMBO
We all know Catholicism is camper than a girl guide’s jamboree, but until now there’s never been a movie to prove it. This South American musical concoction tells the story of young Natalia who, on receiving the present of a TV (from Jesus himself), becomes obsessed with Flashdance and wearing torn t-shirts like Jennifer Beals. With her best mate, little gay Carlos in tow, headbands and legwarmers at the ready, she rehearses songs on a motorway overpass, dreaming of stardom.
Cut to 20 years later. In between auditions, Natalia is working at the Cristo Theme Park (the only theme park approved by the Vatican) dressed up as the Ten Commandments. But, as this film shows, you should never give up hope. When a national TV talent show rolls into town – hosted by Almodóvar icon, Rosy De Palma – Natalia gets the chance to fulfill the dreams she’s held on to since she was the most Catholic child in her religiously crazy hometown.
Miss Tacuarembó is a kick-ass musical that puts the kitsch back in church – what a feeling!
Spanish with English subtitles.
