A man is forced to confront a dangerous female jaguar and his own past through the sacrificial killing of the beast he has grown to love.
This film won the Adelaide International Film Festival's Audience Choice Award, and for good reason.
This is beautiful story-telling; it's subtle, beautifully paced and visually magnificent. And if whoever wrote comment number one couldn't find subtext then he must have been watching a different film.
I'm hoping against hope for an Australian release in the near future.
