The whole film for me was a beautiful condensation of two decades into two hours which explored change on both an individual and cultural level. We saw a gradual decay of both the individual and ones culture expressed so gracefully and bluntly at the same time. The film was incredible.
Absolutely favorite film of the year. I saw it a good while ago and it's so beautifully told, shot, acted, everything really. I loved the Shakespearean nature of it.
Probably the best film I've seen this year so far, I've not seen anything else from him other than Embrace of the Serpent but just off of those two films Ciro Guerra's pretty easily getting up there as one of my favourite filmmakers
Such a wonderful film. I loved the embrace of the Serpent and wind journeys but this is definitely my favourite. The women in this are incredible. As is the landscapes and the music and the culture. Just brilliant
I think because a) he is her son, and they are not easily parted, and b) Rapayet was making an all-out compensation offer to Anibal, practically begging for forgiveness, which assumedly they were expecting to be accepted.
If you see the film Leonidas keeps confiding that he was forced into a life of violence by his father. Leonidas is a bad seed but I think the grandmother always saw that the misfortune is brought on by fate and by the father. Hence Leonidas is seen as a symptom but not the sum cause of everything that befalls on the family. In a sense the grandmother becomes the decision making, central figure throughout the film.
I think at the end of the day Rapayet was still the outsider to her - Leonidas is her son and she isn't able to recognise what a useless pile of poo he is. She was happy to sacrifice any number of lives to keep her direct descendants alive

i'm in the right place then. I thought the same. Absolutely brilliant

The Wind Journeys is also a classic.
I want to watch it but it only seems to be available in really poor quality, I’m hoping they release a Blu Ray or something at some point
@@GiantSandles Doubtful of a blu-ray release anytime soon, but it is streaming on Kanopy in very good quality, if you have access to that.

One of the few and best folk gangster movie.
Loved it
Spoiler. Why didn't Ursula just send the guilty Leonidas to Anibal for justice so she would have prevented the war that killed many people?
