UNDERTOW (CONTRACORRIENTE)

May 17th, 2010

UNDERTOW (CONTRACORRIENTE)- 2009. Premise by Netflix. “Writer-director Javier Fuentes-León sets this offbeat romantic ghost story on the rough-hewn but gorgeous Peruvian coast, where a married fisherman must come to terms with his love for another man, despite the strict moral codes of his homeland. This winner of the World Cinema Audience Award: Dramatic at Sundance is a vivid examination of the ways in which affairs of the heart supersede social strictures and all other forms of logic.” Very good reviews.

I saw this at the Palm Springs Int. Film Festival and liked it very much. TRDB.
