PODCAST | Chiara Nicoletti interviews Alica Bednáriková, director of the film Liquid Bread.

Can humour and satire be the key in cinema as in life to tackle some difficult topics? In Future Frames Slovak director Alica Bednáriková answers with a film, Liquid Bread which manages to portray three generations in a sarcastic, ironic though serious way. The director also talks about the condition of women in cinema nowadays and the change the industry is hopefully really going through.

Liquid Bread: Three generations of a seemingly ordinary family gather at the family home in southern Slovakia. The arrival of the granddaughter Zoja doesn’t cause any major issues, though perhaps just a little more alcohol is consumed, one more family secret comes out, one minor tragedy occurs … Liquid Bread is a family portrait – and a portrait of a family portrait. Working with a playful curiosity, Slovak director Alica Bednáriková explores the possibilities of the film script, its (self-)reflection, and cinematic narrative as such, thus showing that a classical subject can be approached from a fresh angle and with a sense of humor.
