Audience Member An excellent political drama about the corruption of the Fujimori dictatorship in Peru, focussing on the death of a fictional judge and what his fiancée does to avenge his death. The movie keeps us watching with beautiful costumes, makeup, and the relationship between the fiancée and a cynical journalist who tries to stop her self-destruction. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member slow drama I can't tell if this was based on true story or not but she wasn't the only one with that idea Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Watched this a while ago at Peruvian embassy for the screening and It changed my mind on south American movie industry Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member yukiiiiiiiii.... como pudimos ver semejante pelicula?? te acuerdas de la viejaaaa?? jajajajajajaja Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the best latinoamerican directors, Pancho Lombardi gives a dramatic look at the peruvian society in Fujimori-Montesinos's time. I don't think it's his best movie but I think he does a remarkable work. Excellent job of Magdiel Ugaz, almost as good is Melania Urbina. A special place in my heart: was the last movie I saw in the Lima Film Festival (back in 2006). Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Lombardi, para mi gusto el mejor director latinoamericano y ésta su última pelicula, durisima, pero grande... Melania Urbina, la actriz se come la pelicula. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
