Bombay Elektrik Projekt in association with UTV World Movies presents a unique marriage of movies (Reinas) and music (Parachute XVI, one of Bangalore’s finest bands) at the kick-ass live venue that is Kyra, on Monday 31st August. The evening kick starts with Manuel Gomez Pereira’s delightful Spanish farce, Reinas (Queens). There are a lot of “Queens” in Pereira’s film, starting with the five pairs of young, good-looking men who aim to be wed in a mass-marriage.
But most memorable of all are five of their mothers, played by grande dames of 1980s Spanish cinema, still sexy, aging gracefully and proudly displaying cleavage.
