![]() Things from here take on an even darker turn,as Lt.Gonzales,with the help of some other fellow officers,even worse than he,try to hunt Jorge down to deal with him,face to face (again). Gonzales,another hard drinking,cocaine snorting policeman who is total scum,played by an intense Hernan Mendez,he is found by Angela,is brought to hospital,and seems to take a fancy to Jorge). These two damaged souls are brought together by chance on a rain soaked night (after Jorge is nearly beaten to death by Lt. The story concerns a taxi driver,named Jorge (played by Quique Mendoza),who's brother was gunned down recently by some of Bogota's slimy crime element (including the police),and is trying to get his head together,and Angela,a hard drinking,coke head party girl (played by Gloria Montoya),who just wants to have fun (obviously in the worst way). Jorge Nava's 'La Sangre y la Lluvia',or 'Blood & Rain' tells a dark story of modern day events in the big city (in this case,Bogota,Colombia). It has been often said that cinema is a mirror of what transpires in modern day society (and that goes for elements,both bad,as well as good).

This took itself very seriously and in the end had less to say than the average TV episode of the French, Spiral or even the British Luther. A leisurely pace is fine but we could have done with a little more variety. Some great scenes, good characterisation and decent dialogue but this doesn't quite have enough to really set it alight. Ugly streets, menacing guys and drugged up party people and drugged up gangsters make for a heady mix of a movie that is never going to end well. Stylish and violent, this uncompromising film tells a simple enough story spanning just one evening in this scary place. Just about qualifying as a neo noir, this rain drenched streets of Bogota, set thriller is pretty bleak.

I'm still not sure I more than like it but at the same time I think that this a film worth seeing.Ī word of warning there is full frontal nudity, graphic sex, violence and general unpleasantness. Its clearly the calling card of a director with a huge amount of talent. It's a film that moves toward its conclusion with a certainty that none of the characters has, much like all of us. Its dark oppressive and you can't escape. This is not a happy movie and you may hate yourself for seeing it, as a couple at the Tribeca film Festival screening I attended did. It's a film that hangs around you and makes you feel unclean. Nihilistic doesn't begin to describe this bleak black film. This then sets in motion a series of events that will result his meeting lonely party girl Angela and violence. One of the other men beats him up for "disrespecting" them. Jorge doesn't want to hear it and doesn't feel safe so gets out of his cab with a crow bar. Across the way car pulls up and two men tell Jorge that they want to set up a meeting for their boss to give him information about the death of his brother.
