Our take
Melina León sheds light on a dark chapter in Peru’s recent history in her mesmerising feature debut, which earned comparisons with Alfonso Cuarón’s Roma! With strikingly framed black and white cinematography, the sumptuous imagery of this eerily evocative film brings majesty to a tragic real story.
