The Godmother (Spanish: Madraza) is a 2017 Argentine crime black comedy film directed, written, and produced by Hernan Aguilar. Madraza won the Best Feature Film Award in Sitges Film Festival 2017 Blood Window and won the Best Feature Film Award "Panambí de oro" at the Paraguay International Film Festival 2017.
Using visually powerful action sequences and realistic performances, the film depicts the story of a simple housewife that becomes an assassin for money. A fiction feature film about a housewife living in the slums of Buenos Aires who becomes an assassin for hire to overcome the struggles of her emotional emptiness and tough economic situation. An intelligent and romantic detective investigates the murders. Stained of sexual tension, the relationship between the Detective and Matilde is both funny and refreshing.
Madraza is a genre film that, using suspense, action and comedy, wanders through the many difficulties that citizens of Buenos Aires must endure. The movie´s tone tends to satirize the current social perspective of Argentina and the limits of morale and insanity.
It was picked up by the Walt Disney Company, and distributed by Buena Vista International, something rare for an independent Argentine film.
