Los Reyes Del Mundo
Take a look in advance
Los Reyes Del Mundo from director Laura Mora Ortega has no shortage of beautiful shots. Set in Colombia, the film follows five teenagers who want to start a new life away from the violence and poverty they grew up with. As the film moves from the busy streets of the city of Medellin to the misty Andes mountains, Lauro Mora captures a picture of a country in transition that is as stunning as it is eye-opening. Los Reyes Del Mundo is not just another social film about poverty and injustice in Colombia.
The dreamy and surreal images and dynamic camera work make this film very special. The camera is constantly on the skin of the characters: it walks along, plays along, climbs along and stumbles along. A deserved winner at the San Sebastián Film Festival.
