Porfirio
Click here to read the review!
Layered and haunting, Landes’ first non-documentary feature shows tons of promise. It surfaces at a time when fiction/documentary hybrids are making a lot of noise on the festival circuits (they seem especially popular in South America, such as Alamar and Paraguayan Hammock, to name a couple). Porifiro isn’t necessarily a giant leap forward in the format, but it is a solid entry, and will be frequently revisited if/when Landes’ next few films gain him some notoriety.
