[Plays Aug. 20 at the MSP Film Society at the St. Anthony on Main Theater; for information, log on to info@mspfilm.or or call 612/331-7563.] Guilt and emotional turmoil ensue in Pablo Larrain's engaging, raw, risqué, well-acted, unpredictable, 107-minute, 2019 film highlighted by amazing dance numbers in which a bisexual, free-spirited, sexually charged, pyromaniac Chilean dancer (Mariana Di Girólamo) starts divorce proceedings against her infertile, choreographer husband (Garcia Garcia Bernal) who directs the dance company for which she performs, and they both struggle to come to terms with returning their troubled, fire-loving, 6-year-old son (Cristian Felipe Suarez) to the orphanage after he commits a tragic act of violence.
