Bemberg, Maria Luisa

Bemberg, Maria Luisa
▪ 1996

      Argentine motion-picture director (b. April 14, 1922, Buenos Aires, Arg.—d. May 7, 1995, Buenos Aires), challenged tradition when she embarked on a directing career after expressing disappointment at the way her semiautobiographical screenplays were interpreted by male directors and later emerged as Latin America's foremost female director. Bemberg, who was raised in a patrician family, married and bore four children but felt unfulfilled in that role and secured a divorce. She found her feminist voice as a screenwriter when she was 48 and financed her first feature-length film, Momentos (1981), at the age of 59. In her six films she explored—in a context of political oppression—women's struggles to assume their rightful place in a patriarchal society. Her second film, Senora de Nadie (1982), focused on the friendship between a woman separated from her husband and a gay man. Camila (1984), a true story about a woman who fell in love with a priest and was executed, was followed by Miss Mary (1987), an examination of the influences of a British governess on her charges. Another film, Yo, la peor de todas (I, the Worst of All; 1990), was considered by many her best work and told the story of the 17th-century nun Juana Ines de la Cruz, a poet and thinker whose ideas were too radical for her times. Bemberg's last film was We Don't Want to Talk About It (1992), a fairy tale starring Marcello Mastroianni as an elderly gentleman who loves a dwarf.
