(Barry Sonnenfeld, US 1993, 94 min., DCP)
Legendary Puerto Rican actor Raul Julia returns as Gomez, the patriarch of the Addams family. After being reunited with his brother Fester (Christopher Lloyd), Gomez and Morticia (Anjelica Huston) have a third child. They hire a nanny, Debbie (Joan Cusack), to care for the child and to keep his older siblings, Wednesday and Puggsly (Christina Ricci and Jimmy Workman, respectively) from trying to murder him. When Wednesday becomes suspicious of Debbie’s motives, the nanny convinces the parents to send the children to camp. As the youngsters try unsuccessfully to fit in at camp, Debbie puts her plan in motion to marry Fester, kill him, and steal his fortune. Superior to the original in every way, this madcap adventure leans into the gothic macabre so familiar in Latin-American countries.
