La Piedad

No pun intended - as you may have noticed in the short movie the director did many years ago, he does like a particular color. No worries if you haven't, you'll see it right away. Maybe it is too much for you, maybe the way the movie is on the nose is too much for you too ... or maybe it is the fact that it is quite violent in some places and quite explicit (in regards of nudity) in other places.

A love of a mother can be suffocating - and there is no better example of that, than in the movie right here. Yes you can make the case that the movie makes the point early on and you may feel that the 80 minutes run time is still too long. Or you can go with the flow and enjoy the madness and the back and forth. And understand that the "Stockholm Syndrom" can also be applied to Dictators. Again not for the squeamish and faint of hearted ... but if you can dig or rather accept the artful use of certain imagery ... you will have quite the field day here.

One of the favorites for me from the "newcomer" section at the Fantasy Filmfest. Great acting and really crazy (read good) ideas.
