Comparing it with the other masterpiece will only lead to disappointment.
But if you ask me (for whatever reason, if you do), Trauma is best watched on its own merit. There’s also a terrible scene involving a baby (that’s kept more off-the-camera here). And you can see why – the political overtones are there here too, though more obviously. Trauma is regarded by some as a sort of spiritual successor to A Serbian Film. But the young man who has been chosen for her is not in. The idea is to party at a family home, an idea that soon turns into a gate-crashed event. Ruchi, the favourite daughter of a Jerusalem orthodox family, dreams of becoming a wife and mother. Into this town arrive four Santiago women, including a lesbian couple. We then move to contemporary times, where one of the characters from this scene has now blossomed into a nasty being, whom the folk in his small Chilean town fear down to their balls. Trauma starts off with a shocking scene set in the era of Pinochet (late ’70s Chile).
