Chronology
The Taste of Mango, Chloe Abrahams’ first feature, Hypnotism, is an urgent personal meditation, encompassing family, memory, identity, violence and love. At its centre are three extraordinary women: the director’s mother, Rosanna; his grandmother, Jean; and the director himself. Their stories, both difficult and joyful, bear witness to the tangled and ever-changing nature of heritage and how we both hurt and protect those we love.
