Dark comedy, 21 July 2008
8/10
Author: st-shot from United States

In the early morning a woman fed up with her husband and son walks out on them. When we see why we can't blame her. They are both chauvinist slobs incapable of caring for themselves. Realizing this they retrieve the wife's mother from a nursing home and feigning love and concern soon have her assuming the same indentured status that caused her daughter to flee. It turns out however that they also may have been duped.

Eramous Pocos is a well acted little gem of a comedy told soberly in a low key manner. It's stark imagery bathed in ominous lighting drips with a casually foreboding ambiance and mystery that contributes to the film's ambiguous demeanor. Director Borgea Kobeaga puts great care and detail into every shot, creating an impressive visual suspense to advance the storey line and bring about its ironically comic conclusion. It's a masterwork of style in miniature.
