(Dir. Adrián Suar, Argentina, 2025) | 1hr 37mins
An Argentine comedy-drama that, in an emotional and exuberant way, unfolds the complex bond between four siblings (three brothers and their sister) against the backdrop of their father’s sudden death; the pregnant sister’s wedding and simultaneous labour/delivery of her baby boy; and a fraught Yom Kippur supper with the extended family. As the siblings spend a month together to grieve their father and reconnect, director Adrián Suar spends the film’s carefully crafted minutes teasing out the eccentricities and foibles of each of the adult children; ultimately bringing them together in a loving passionate embrace at the film’s conclusion. “Mazel Tov” is messy, touching and poignant; much like any family’s story. There will be a lively post-film program, moderated by Gustavo Rymberg, CEO of the Hamilton Jewish Foundation, to explore the history and current culture of Argentinian Jewry.
