Valley of Souls

It's a devastating film, but doesn't revel in the story's inherent grimness.

An arresting and accomplished snapshot of a troubled period in Colombian history.

All of the considerable artistry of "Valley of Souls" goes toward making it so completely immersive you can forget there's artifice at all.

The fisherman is capable of extraordinary humility and courage in the face of adversity; it is his strength, as much as his sorrow, that makes him a compelling figure.
