Honorable simplification. In Icíar Bollaín’s film, Gael García Bernal is the idealistic director and Luis Tosar the tough producer of a film being made in the Bolivian Andes. Modern villagers play the Carib Indians subjugated by Columbus, and as politics invade the production, themes arrive on tracks of editorial cinema: the artists echo the troubled priests of old, modern exploiters are the new Spaniards, water has replaced gold, etc. Bolivia has great presence, and there is the remarkable newcomer Juan Carlos Aduviri as a Che-like radical with piercing eyes. (2011) — David Elliott
