Spain. Dir. Gustavo Salmerón, 2017, 90 mins. Digital projection. With Julita Salmeron and Gustavo Salmerón. In Spanish with English subtitles. The curious title refers to the three things actor-turned-director Gustavo Salmerón’s wonderfully one-of-a-kind mother Julita always wanted. Incredibly, she got them all, raising six kids, adopting a monkey, and eventually purchasing her very own castle thanks to a tidy inheritance. This charming family portrait is an affectionate, often hilarious tribute to a larger-than-life woman, now in her 80s but as frank, quick-witted, and indomitable as ever—a natural born documentary star in the vein of the Grey Gardens gals. Winner of a slew of prizes—including Best Documentary at the Goya Awards and the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival—this is an irresistible, bona-fide crowd pleaser.
