Cabeza Madre

John, looking for the mother in Cuba he hasn't seen in thirty years, is surprised to discover just her corpse minus her head, and further to find that the rest of his family there, who are stranger than he thought, are not all that helpful in his quest.

Directed by Edouard Salier, Cabeza Madre leans on a strong ensemble — Clifton Collins Jr., Miriam Korn, Lisandra Delgado — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2018.
