Steve Balderson’s new film, “The Casserole Club” focuses on a group of mod 1960’s era suburban housewives.  Close-knit and neighborly, they are all bent on one-upping each other, trying to prove that each is “the hostess with the mostess.”  They begin a recipe club, and hold dinner parties, testing out their new casseroles.  But when the gatherings become increasingly focused on boozy flirtation, and more than recipes start getting swapped, the story moves swiftly from stylized and campy to a drama about irresponsibility, selfishness, and damaged people.

“The Casserole Club” is an intricate landscape of desolation, unspoken desires, and empty lives laid bare.  Raw and uncompromising, it is evocative of classics like “Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” and the more contemporary “American Beauty.”  Set in America during the NASA moonwalk, the moon, is a metaphor for the film's tragic heroines, who are filled with mystery, secrets and the untapped potential of people who exist without really living.

 

Spanish translation by L.M. Santos:

El nuevo film de Steve Balderson, "The Casserole Club", se centra en un grupo de modernas amas de casa suburbiales en la década de 1960. De forma amistosa, todas las vecinas tratan de probar que son la "anfitriona perfecta". Forman un club de recetas, y celebran cenas para probar sus nuevas cacerolas. Pero cuando estos encuentros van desembocando en flirteos entre copas, y las recetas dan paso a los intercambios de pareja, la historia se desliza suavemente desde la sofisticación camp hacia un drama sobre irresponsabilidad, egoismo y personas dañadas.

"The Casserole Club" es un intrincado paisaje de desolación, deseos no formulados, y vidas vacías que yacen desnudas. Cruda y sin concesiones, recuerda a clásicos como "¿Quién teme a Virginia Woolf?" y la más actual "American Beauty". Ambientada en la Norteamérica de los paseos lunares de la NASA, la propia luna resulta una metáfora de las trágicas heroinas del film, las cuales viven inmersas en el misterio, los secretos y el potencial oculto de aquellos que existen sin vivir de verdad.
