\u2018Linda\u2019 Review: An Enigmatic Woman Beguiles a Whole Family in This Sexy Thriller

<\/h1>\n

First time feature filmmaker Mariana Wainstein and actor Eugenia “China” Su\u00e1rez superbly reveal the pathos behind an enigmatic and tantalizing lead character
<\/strong>
Following Nicole Kidman\u2019s \u201cBabygirl,\u201d another psychologically complex erotic thriller arrives at one of the fall festivals. Unspooling in the Discovery Section at the Toronto International Film Festival, the Argentine thriller \u201cLinda<\/a>\u201d puts a sexy and mysterious maid inside a household where she wrecks emotional havoc with the family she\u2019s serving. Immediately the tables are turned and her mystique attracts everyone and gives the upper hand. At the center of filmmaker\u2019s\u00a0Mariana Wainstein<\/a>, is an alluring yet reserved performance from Eugenia \u201cChina\u201d Su\u00e1rez as the eponymous enigmatic beguiler.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Linda enters the story as a temporary replacement for an injured maid, who\u2019s her cousin. This is a Buenos Aires family of four, equally divided by gender as mother, father, daughter and son. The minute each of them lays eyes on Linda, their whole body language shifts and it becomes crystal clear that they are transfixed. Sure she\u2019s a gorgeous and beautiful woman \u2013 too beautiful to be a maid she\u2019s told by more than one member of the family \u2013 but it\u2019s the way she offhandedly cajoles them that makes her irresistible.\u00a0

The father Camilo (Rafael Spregelburd ) tries to impress her with his belongings; expensive wine and vintage furniture. She refuses most of his gifts and what she takes she does without acknowledgment or appreciation. She looks at him impassively showing no emotion despite knowing that he\u2019s infatuated with her. With the teenage son, Ceferino (Felipe Ota\u00f1o) she\u2019s even more dismissive. She treats his clumsy attempts at seduction with utter contempt.\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Older sibling Matilda (Minerva Casero) has a boyfriend (Agust\u00edn Della), whom she quickly finds wanting in comparison to Linda. With her, Linda is more of a sensual charmer; gifting her a second-hand bikini and opening her eyes to a world beyond her sheltered life. Su\u00e1rez\u2019s interplay with all three actors is so riveting that the audience can\u2019t help but find themselves part of these sexy games \u2014 perhaps as unsettled voyeurs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, Linda forms her deepest connection with the matriarch, Luisa (Julieta Cardinali). With Luisa, Linda is different. She\u2019s more open, more forthcoming. She\u2019s interested in Luisa. At the beginning it\u2019s a tetchy relationship. Much is made of the maid uniform that Luisa asks her to wear but Linda never does. Little by little, Luisa thaws and sees in Linda an alternative to her stagnant life with her husband and children \u2014 three people who supposedly love her but never actually acknowledge what she does for them.\u00a0
