Pachamama - SIFF 2019 Capsule Review



The Movie: Pachamama

The Director: Juan Antin

The Cast: Andrea Santamaria, India Coenen, Saïd Amadis, Marie-Christine Darah, Vincent Ropion, Jean-Marc Pannetier, Alex Harrouch, Colin Bates

The Story: A young boy living in a remote village in the Andes Mountains dreams of becoming shaman.

The Review:
Pachamama is a beautiful film with a story that all ages will enjoy. Set in the Andes and filled with folk lore and a classic coming of age tale that is as timeless as it is relatable, this is the perfect movie to gather the family to watch an hour or so of animated magic unfold on screen. I believe this will be available on Netflix soon and would highly recommend that you check it out.

El Ángel - SIFF 2019 Capsule Review



The Movie: El Ángel

The Director: Luis Ortega

The Cast: Lorenzo Ferro, Chino Darin, Mercedes Moran, Daniel Fanego, Luis Gnecco

The Story: The angelic face of Carlos, a 17-year-old teenager, hides a dark facet of robberies, lies and murders.

The Review:
I wish Hollywood had the balls to make this type of movie. Director and co-writer Luis Ortega's latest creation is a daringly slick look into the mind of a teenager who just doesn't give a shit about rules and steps right over the laws and proprieties of 1970's Argentina. First time actor Lorenzo Ferro is absolutely brilliant playing Carlos aka El Ángel, the lead character who is as sexy and full of swagger as he is deadly and irreverent.


El Ángel is an official selection of the 2019 Seattle International Film Festival.

Knife + Heart - SIFF 2019 Capsule Review



The Movie: Knife + Heart

The Director: Yann Gonzalez

The Cast: Vanessa Paradis, Kate Moran, Nicolas Maury

The Story: Paris, summer 1979. Anne is a producer of gay porn at discount. When Loïs, her editor and companion, leaves her, she attempts to reclaim her by turning a film more ambitious with the flamboyant Archibald.

The Review:
This might just be the best 1970's set gay porn murder mystery comedic thriller I have ever seen. The mustaches alone are worth the price of admission but this is also a really fun romp through genre nostalgia and yes, it's about as absurd as you think it is. A little long for my liking but still a solid film that shows off its love of some very specific segments of cinematic history.


Knife + Heart is an official selection of the 2019 Seattle International Film Festival.
