THE BLUE DINNER
2001 | Romantic Comedy

 

The Blue Diner is a 2001 romantic comedy directed by Jan Egleson and produced by Natatcha Estébanez. The film explores the complexities of cultural identity and family dynamics within a Puerto Rican mother-daughter relationship in Boston. Elena, portrayed by Lisa Vidal, mysteriously loses her ability to speak Spanish, her native language, during an argument with her mother, Meche, played by Miriam Colón. This sudden loss forces Elena to confront her heritage and navigate her relationships with two men: Tito, a Latin artist without a green card, and Brian, her Irish-American boss. The narrative delves into themes of assimilation, generational conflict, and the search for self-understanding. The film's editing was done by Jeanne Jordan.
