Satanás

I watched Andrés Baiz's "Satanás" the other night and was deeply impressed. Based on the real life tragedy of Bogota's Pozzetto Massacre, it's a very thoughtful and sensitive meditation on evil and mental decay. Bleak, noir stuff, very powerful. A great Colombian film.

I liked it too. Sadly the actor that played the Priest did recently(ish) of peritonitis.
Colombian Cinema Rocks!

But, I'm going to start making some assumptions here.... Which means I might actually end up making an ass out of myself ..........Thu 04 17, 2008 11:34 am

You're welcome brit. Just make sure you get one about a bikini competition or something, to cheer you up afterwards.

Dear God Lauthra, that's bad news about that actor. He was what? Early thirties?

I remember that day very well, our family was eating in another restaurant about two blocks away from Pozzetto we were in "Pizzeria Napolitana" and it was chaotic situation.

I also watched "La Gorra". That was pretty grim too.

Recent interview with a survivor:

Hoy se nota en la floresta un ambiente de alegría. ¡Y el rumor de ranchería es mas dulce y sabe a fiesta!

I saw it. Bought a clear DVD copy (subtitles and all) down in San Andresito in Bogota for 3.000 or 4.000 pesos. I knew nothing about what happened prior to seeing the DVD. It was tastefully done and not over the top. The storylines were pretty good, in hindsight. It was interesting to see how they tied them all together.

I wanted to feel bad for the coffee seller who took on the job as burundanga bait, but couldn't. She cleaned up nicely. But karma came back on her twice. Oh well.

"Don't tase me, bro!!!!"
