Closes Thursday!
A former criminal and cult member living under cloak of night in the crevices and corners of the Colombian city of Medellín makes his way back into civilization, yet is gripped by a shadowy past, in this fragmented first feature from Camilo Restrepo. After his memorable shorts Cilaos and La bouche, the director proves his mastery at economical yet expansive storytelling here, taking a complex narrative about the possibility of regeneration within a society all too willing to discard its outcasts and boiling it down to a series of precise shots, sounds, and gestures of off-handed beauty. Winner of the Best First Feature prize at the 2020 Berlin Film Festival. A New Directors/New Films 2020 selection. A Grasshopper Film release.
Introducing Matinee Pricing! All tickets are $10 for screenings before 3pm.

Watch our Q&A from the 49th New Directors/New Films:
Stunning. Hallucinatory. A swirling, cryptic journey into a hellish Medellín night.
—Jonathan Romney, Sight & Sound
A nocturnal Bressonian neo-noir in miniature.
—Keith Watson, Slant Magazine
Succinctly potent like a concentrated shot of a mood-altering substance.
—Carlos Aguilar, The Film Stage
There are echoes here of Chilean auteur Alejandro Jodorowsky in the disorienting stew of metaphor and mysticism, and the sheer logic-defying strangeness of it all...it’s a memorable experience.
—Steve Rose, The Guardian
Vivid and dreamlike. Nearly every sequence contains a moment of sudden, arresting beauty.
—Clinton Krute, BOMB Magazine
Every frame is gorgeous. Restrepo’s debut feature burns white-hot with the misterioso story of an outlaw at large.
—Devika Girish, Film Comment
