Between sounds and bellows, his ghost narrates his story, an authentic and false story, serious and playful. Another story to add to the imaginary of these neighboring towns, full of macho fights, dictatorships and beings that have died without ever knowing where they really were. Read More Read Less

      Robert Daniels RogerEbert.com De Los Santos Arias’ film gives the deceased animal the chance to tell his story, a tragedy that interrogates colonialism, conservation, and the drug war. Feb 22, 2024 Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International It’s a wildly original work from De Los Santos Arias, a film with a gleefully wanton approach to form, style and story in which no directorial decision is predictable, and, despite a slightly overstretched running time, no moment is ever dull. Feb 20, 2024 Full Review Jessica Kiang Variety “Pepe” does eventually get around to telling a story, but not the one you’d think and only after a good hour of dizzyingly fragmentary storytelling will have tried even the most hippo-happy viewer’s patience. Feb 20, 2024 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Too obtuse for me. Rated: B- May 6, 2024 Full Review Nicolás Medina LatAm Cinema It is a story that transcends the anecdotal to delve into the depths of human experience, questioning our preconceived notions about life, death and sense of belonging. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 10/10 Mar 17, 2024 Full Review Jaime Pena Caimán Cuadernos de Cine De los Santos Arias' film alternates the surprising with the more traditional, and this combination ends up being more confusing than fruitful.
