Why watch this film?
Acclaimed at the Venice Film Festival, Blanquita is an excellent Chilean drama based on the tumultuous events surrounding the Spiniak Case, a scandal of child abuse, political and media corruption uncovered in 2003 in Chile. The movie revolves around the titular character (Laura López), who becomes a key witness in the case, though her role in it is questioned as more truths come to light. An excellent production that delves into the darkness of manipulation, intrigue, and the grotesque human capacity to subjugate and abuse their fellow man, yet manages to do so without sensationalism.

Jesús
Directed by Fernando Guzzoni ("Carne de perro") and selected in San Sebastian and Mar del Plata film festivals, "Jesús" is one of those movies that stretch their modest budget to powerful results. It is an intense Chilean thriller with a claustrophobic atmosphere to explore the generational gap between contemporary youth and their parents, the generation that grew up under Pinochet's dictatorship, whose legacy seems to translate into only violence and machismo. Although the script stumbles at times, it is a powerful and raw portrait of its time, which despite its Chilean context can be recognized in several other countries of the continent.

The Peasants
The Peasants is an animated film by the same directors of Loving Vincent, using the same innovative technique, which could be described as "oil-painted rotoscopy". Based on the Nobel Prize-winning novel The Peasants (1904) by Władysław Reymont, it's a tale of desire and revenge told in four episodes, one for each season of the year. The story, set in Poland at the turn of the 20th century, follows a young peasant woman who wreaks havoc by marrying an older, wealthy man, whose son also desires her, despite being married. It is a powerful and bleak, although conventional tale about violence and misogyny, somewhat overshadowed by its beautiful and prodigious visual execution.
