A film whose qualities outweigh its faults, 19 April 2006
6/10
Author: Oliver Luker from Barcelona, Spain

I am an English person living in Spain, whose partner is a Peruvian. We were able to have a lively discussion concerning the merits of this film, and its faults. The majority of the Peruvian film industry - small though it may be - tends to make films of an overtly political nature. This film instead recounts a much more simple, and more human, theme. One might perhaps compare it with the classic movie The Wicker Man - similar themes are explored.

Not every film must be an accurate depiction of the country as a whole - indeed, it would ruinous if that were the case. Instead, what we have here is a worthwhile attempt to recount a tale whose location in Peru is, frankly, the least interesting aspect. That the Catholic church is unquestioningly responsible for all manner of savagery is a matter of opinion - one should not confound its works with those of the people enacting them.

In all, a film well worth the money and a director worth watching.
