'The Gold Seekers' (Los Buscadores) at Rheem
By Sophie Braccini

The Rheem Theatre in Moraga will host the December performance of the International Film Showcase. This month, Efi Lubliner and Jo Alice Canterbury who run these monthly presentations have brought back "The Gold Seekers," a funny and touching South American adventurous comedy.
Los Buscadores is based on an existing Paraguayan urban legend that permeates Asunción's social stratus, leading many to still believe that millions are buried in the basements of the capital city as a result of wealthy people fleeing during the 19th century Paraguayan War.
The heroes of this epic story are ordinary and somewhat naive people caught in a dream of riches. They are colorful, touching and very funny. A good choice for a time when families go to the movies together, the film by Juan Carols Maneglia and Tana Schembori tells the story of ordinary people, trying very hard to make a better life for themselves. It shows a society where poor people have to face great hardship and do so with a mix of fatalism, creativity, superstitions and religious faith.
The International Film Showcase brings almost every month to Lamorinda a foreign film of high caliber (including several Oscar winners or nominees), not yet distributed in the Bay Area. The films offer an opportunity to discover other countries, ways of living and thinking. Started at the Orinda Theatre, the showcase now incorporates the Moraga-based Rheem Theatre.
Screening of "The Gold Seekers" starts Dec. 14 for a full week. For more information, visit http://lamorindatheatres.com.
