Casa de mi Padre

  • This is a past program

Frances Stark recognized the political subtext and artistry in this Spanish-language comedy about Mexican brothers (Will Ferrell and Diego Luna) caught in a telenovela-style plot that includes a nefarious drug kingpin (Gael García Bernal). Humor ensues.

The actor Will Ferrell, director Matt Piedmont, writer Andrew Steele, and producer Jessica Elbaum join Frances Stark for a post-screening conversation about the distinctly unfunny consequences of America’s appetite for drugs, including drug-related violence in Mexico. (2012, Dir. Matt Piedmont, 84 min.)

All Hammer public programs are free and made possible by a major gift from the Dream Fund at UCLA. 

Generous support is also provided by Susan Bay Nimoy and Leonard Nimoy, Good Works Foundation and Laura Donnelley, an anonymous donor, and all Hammer members.
