One hint, 6 chances, and a new movie to guess every day
A young couple from the US, struggling with their marriage, decides to move to Mexico. As liberal artists, they seek inspiration and freedom in a new country ready to be discovered. But the reality is far from what they are imagining.
"Good Savage (Buen salvaje) is a Mexican satire that echoes several contemporary local anxieties, particularly cultural colonialism and gentrification by citizens of the global north (specifically, the United States and Europe). The plot follows an American artist couple: a writer (Corina star Naian González Norvind) and an experimental filmmaker (Andrew Leland Rogers, from Souvenir). To break free from the monotony of their decaying marriage and find creative inspiration, they decide to travel to a remote rural town in Mexico, where their interactions with organized crime become increasingly questionable. Although the film loses some of its momentum towards the end, it is a fun and biting satire of the exoticized view of foreigners in Mexico, with a strong script and great performances from the entire cast."
