Familia Rodante review

Another low-budget treat from the New Argentine cinema, Pablo Trapero's bustling road-movie crams four generations of a Buenos Aires family into a camper van for their 1,000 km trip across the countryside. The cramped, stifling conditions and mechanical setbacks bring domestic tensions and romantic conflicts to the surface, but Familia Rodante is always a generous-hearted comedy, and is buoyed by the spirited performance of the filmmaker's own 84-year-old grandmother Graciana Chironi.
