Esteban Ramírez is the only movie maker from Costa Rica that has achieved some heavy international recognition for his work, being "Caribe" his cornerstone. The movie is based on a short tale that Ramírez and co writer Ana Istarú achieved to transform in a contemporary story with two main axis: a story of love and betrayal on one hand and a subplot that involves the resistance of some groups to explore and exploit oil fields in Costa Rica shores. The first story goes quite OK. The second, nowadays, with the fuel prices as high as they are I really don't care if foreign companies, or national ones, exploit oil or uranium if the Costa Rican people can save some money. But it was a good stroke because by doing so, to criticize the oil exploitation, the movie got the spontaneous backup from many environmentalist and Anti U.S. leftist groups. Not a masterwork it speaks very well of the producer-director Ramírez who achieved a good work for his curriculum. As far as I'm concerned he has a "10" in Costa Rica and expect to see more of his.
