Klaudia Reynicke’s Sundance Entry ‘Reinas’ Explores Family Ties
Swiss-Peru-Spain Co-Production ‘Reinas’ by Klaudia Reynicke world premieres at Sundance.
The Swiss-Peru-Spain co-production is set in the summer of 1992 when social and political unrest is roiling Lima, prompting Elena (played by Jimena Lindo), a mother of two young girls, to accept a job offer in the U.S. Like in her previous two films, “Il Nido” and pop drama “Love Me Tender,” she explores the themes of family, belonging and identity in “Reinas.” Shot early 2023 in Lima, “Reinas” called for a predominantly multi-lingual Swiss crew and a Peruvian cast, making it a “culture shock for everyone,” noted Reynicke, who added, laughing: “In all of my shoots, there are at least five languages spoken.”
