Speed Racer Week

Raquel has served as the live-in maid for the Valdes family for 23 years. Neither truly a member of the family nor simply a servant, she inhabits an undefined space somewhere in between. Threatened when the family decides to bring on extra help, she engages in a series of increasingly frantic acts to hold on to her position.

Racing on to our screens next week is the latest film from those boys behind the Matrix, ‘Speed Racer’.

The adaptation of the classic cartoon promises an action packed family film with  jaw dropping effects and an A-list cast to boot.

To celebrate the film’s launch all next week on Movies.ie  is ‘Speed Racer Week’, dedicated to all things Speed and co.

We’ll have interviews with cast, crew and a whole lot more. Make sure you check it out!
