I Stay with You

(Me quedo contigo)
Mexico, 2014
Duration: 
1:40

Spanish with English subtitles.

Giggling young women who secretly feed a macho cowboy Viagra might sound pretty funny. But is it really?... I Stay with You starts out as an innocent comedy with rich girls having carefree fun. Gradually, however, the film undergoes a transformation, ending in dark sadism. Artist Artemio Narro has made a number of installations and videos on the subject of violence. His first fiction feature is not only a commentary on the ever-present violence in Mexico, but also on how we see violence. The changing tone of the film and an ingenious turnaround in the battle of the sexes makes this film a confrontational experience. IFFR
 

“A shocking commentary on violence in Mexico, in which the male and female roles are reversed.” International Film Festival Rotterdam
 

“Una comedia de errores que se enreda demasiado,” así se puede clasificar Me quedo contigo, película de una fuerza aterrorizante. Una grupo de típicas chicas fresas mexicanas comienzan un viaje entre amigas: alberca, cócteles, bares;, pero la comedia se comienza a enredar cuando  secuestran a un hombre macho, y en una especie de ‘’feminicidio’’ pero a la inversa, la brutalidad despiadada viene de las féminas para torturar al vaquero, en algo que pareciese una venganza del género opuesto ante la eterna brutalidad masculina.

​La atractiva española Natalia llega al Distrito Federal para casarse con su novio, un cineasta llamado Esteban. Como su prometido se encuentra fuera de la ciudad, la chica europea acepta la invitación de sus amigas Ana, Sofía y Valeria para salir de fiesta y cumplir con la tradicional “despedida de soltera”, pero el festejo se convierte en algo que está más allá del plan inicial, pues estas mujeres, aparentemente delicadas y snobs, resultan ser dinamita pura.
