Juan José Campanella pays tribute to the golden age of Argentinean cinema in his first live action film since “The Secret in Their Eyes.” Legendary actress Maya Ordaz (Graciela Borges from “La Ciénaga”), her wheelchair-bound husband Diego (Luis Brandoni), retired film director and weasel hunter Norberto (Oscar Martínez) and scriptwriter Martin (Marcos Mundstock) live together in a old mansion. Their bickering and constant clashes are no different than the ones they once experienced on a movie set. That may come to an end now that she plans to sell the mansion to an unscrupulous millennial couple. “The Weasels’ Tale” is a deliciously witty and sharply written dark comedy.
