“Stunning. Hallucinatory. A swirling, cryptic journey into a hellish Medellín night.”
LOS CONDUCTOS
A film by Camilo Restrepo
(France/Colombia/Brazil, 2020, 70 min. In Spanish with English subtitles)
A former criminal and cult member living under cloak of night in the crevices and corners of the Colombian city of Medellín makes his way back into civilization, yet is gripped by a shadowy past, in this fragmented first feature from Camilo Restrepo. After his memorable shorts Cilaos and La bouche, the director proves his mastery at economical yet expansive storytelling here, taking a complex narrative about the possibility of regeneration within a society all too willing to discard its outcasts and boiling it down to a series of precise shots, sounds, and gestures of off-handed beauty. Winner of the Best First Feature prize at the 2020 Berlin Film Festival.
