Cecilia Roth ([seˈsilja rot]; born Cecilia Edith Rotenberg; August 8, 1956) is an Argentine actress.

Biography

Fille de l'auteur et journaliste Abrasha Rotemberg, Juif ukrainien ayant fui le régime stalinien, et de la chanteuse argentine Dina Rot, également d’origine juive, elle est la sœur aînée du chanteur Ariel Rot.

En 1976, fuyant la dictature militaire argentine, sa famille s’établit en Espagne, alors en pleine transition démocratique et en plein bouillonnement culturel. A Madrid, Cecilia Roth interprète deux rôles iconiques de la movida : celui d'Ana dans Arrebato de Iván Zulueta, et celui de Sexilia dans Le Labyrinthe des passions de Pedro Almodóvar, dont elle devient l’une des muses : à ce jour, elle est apparue dans huit de ses films, de Pepi, Luci, Bom et autres filles du quartier en 1980 à Douleur Et Gloire en 2019.

Le retour à la démocratie lui permet de revenir en Argentine, où elle est dirigée par de grands réalisateurs tels que María Luisa Bemberg, Adolfo Aristarain (Un lieu dans le monde, Martín (Hache)), Marcelo Piñeyro (Cenizas del paraíso, Kamchatka) ou Daniel Burman. Elle revient cependant régulièrement en Espagne : en 1999, Pedro Almodóvar lui offre ainsi son plus célèbre rôle, celui de Manuela, mère courage dans Tout sur ma mère.

Cecilia Roth obtient de nombreux prix internationaux durant les années 1990, et est membre du jury présidé par Nanni Moretti lors de la Mostra de Venise 2001. Elle continue de jouer régulièrement pour le cinéma et à la télévision, mais aussi pour le théâtre, par exemple en 2010 sous la direction de Mercedes Morán, et en 2013 sous celle de Javier Daulte, où elle reprend le rôle de Nathalie Baye dans Une liaison pornographique, face à Darío Grandinetti.

Elle a été mariée avec Gonzalo Gil, puis avec le chanteur Fito Páez, avec qui elle a adopté un fils, Martín.

The story is centered around a family of five, a father, mother, their two sons, and daughter, revolving around the father. The reality within the diegesis is the one of the father, Leonardo. The film plays with chronology and reality. Leonardo is a well-known writer and playwright, whose his wife left university studies to take care of the family. The film begins with a scene of a dinner in which Leonardo seems uncomfortable because, as is learned later in the film, he is witnessing a possible affair between his wife and an old college friend of hers. The film documents the troubles of the marriage as Leonardo has a brief affair with his dentist shortly after his youngest daughter leaves to Israel with her new husband Ianib. Leonardo's version of reality is, at many times, questionable during the film. He talks to a doctor that researches memory and they talk about the construction of memory and fantasy and it alludes to the self-reflexivity of the film. Leonardo's son in law Ianib leaves behind a book for him to read and asks for his opinion of it. Leonardo takes some time to actually read the book even though he carries it around for most of the film. When he finally reads the book, he is surprised to find out that it is brilliant. This scene is accompanied with a distinct use of lighting that focuses on Leonardo and his absorption within the novel.
