Waiting for the Hearse (Esperando la Carroza) 1985

Waiting for the Hearse (Esperando la Carroza) is a 1985 Argentine dark comedy directed by Alejandro Doria, based on the play by Jacobo Langsner. Set in a working-class neighborhood of Buenos Aires, the film centers around a chaotic family gathering when the matriarch, Mamá Cora, goes missing. As accusations fly and tensions rise, the film hilariously exposes family hypocrisy, social pretensions, and generational conflict. A cult classic in Argentina, the film is known for its sharp dialogue, memorable performances, and biting satire of Argentine society.
