Deeply concerned, 29 September 2006
1/10
Author: wilfredo-1 from Lima, Peru

I found as a positive aspect the idea of preparing a film about an Indian town, using Quechua and Spanish languages and with almost all the actors as people with Indian features. However, I consider this film shows Andean characters as people without moral and values and in many moments they appear as very ignorant. I felt deeply offended by it. I don't know if Claudia Llosa meant to portrait them as barbarians, but she shows the most frequent racist prejudices prevalent among white Peruvians about their Indians compatriots I hope viewers abroad could realize that the plot is fictional, but Llosa uses many tools (language for example) that could give the image of a documentary. The are many weaknesses in the plot, but the previous problem I think is most important. Regards, Wilfredo
