Autumn Sun

DIRECTED BY: Eduardo Mignogna

REVIEWED: 06-15-98

(Sol de Otono) Lovely acting marks Eduardo Mignogna's "Autumn Sun," a Buenos Aires-set love story about a middle-aged Jewish woman (Norma Aleandro) who, awaiting a visit from her American brother, takes out a personals ad to find someone - also Jewish - whom she can pretend to have a long-term relationship with. The ad's answered by Federico Luppi (last seen in "Men with Guns"), who turns out to be charming, articulate, handsome, but not Jewish. While the story distantly resembles the goony "Wedding Banquet," Aleandro and Luppi bring relish to their masquerade, and eventually, inevitably, their love.
