Daniel Burman’s ‘Transmitzvah’ Sings and Dances Its Way Into Cannes Cinéma de la Plage Screening
"This is a film about the search for identity, which is my favorite theme and my obsession," Burman told Variety in a recent interview.
Burman first broke out internationally with a double Berlin Silver Bear win in 2004 for his fourth feature, “Lost Embrace,” and became one of Latin America’s most exportable box office draws in the following years. Fuelling the film’s musical action is an accommodating cast led by Spanish actress Penélope Guerrero (“Dressed in Blue,” “Sky Rojo”), who is joined by Gustavo Bassani (“Yosi, the Regretful Spy”), Juan Minujin (“El Marginal”), Alejandro Awada (“Nine Queens”), Alejandra Flechner (“Argentina, 1985″) and Carla Quevedo (“The Secret in Their Eyes”). With “Transmitzvah,” Burman returns to themes of family and identity that are present in many of his earlier films, such as “Lost Embrace,” “The Tenth Man,” and “Empty Nest.”
