COLOMBIA - Malamor
Malamor

As seemingly-in-treatment drug addict Fabiano Rubiano carts a body into the spectacularly photographed mountains, the flashbacks begin. Cristina Umaña, obsessed with soccer, carrier pigeons and the violin, seems headed for rehab herself, presided over by her sternly bearded daddy, Colombian cinema veteran Gustavo Angarita [A TIME TO DIE, THE STRATEGY OF THE SNAIL]. But a different kind of out-of-control odyssey begins, even as Umaña’s performance keeps the self-destructive "Lisa" curiously appealing and poignant. Major change-of-pace from the director of MAXIMUM PENALTY, 02 fest.

El drogadicto Fabiano Pubiano, que supuestamente está en rehabilitación, lleva un cadáver a las montañas y ahí comienzan las retrospectivas. Cristina Umaña, obsesionada con el fútbol, las palomas mensajeras y el violín, parece estar en rumbo hacia su propia rehabilitación, vigilada por su papá, el experimentado actor colombiano Gustavo Angarita [UNA ÉPOCA DE MORIR, LA ESTRATEGIA DEL CARACOL]. Pero comienza una distinta clase de odisea descontrolada, aun cuando Umaña logra hacer que la autodestructiva "Lisa” quede curiosamente atractiva y conmovedora. Importante cambio de ritmo para el director de LA PENA MÁXIMA, Festival 02.
