In the jungle of Colombia, Pepe, a young Hippo was killed. 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.

Greg Nussen Slant Magazine As an anguished cry against colonialism, Pepe works best when illustrating the micro ways in which culture is erased by capital interests. Rated: 2/4 Sep 7, 2024 Full Review 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 Carlos Losilla Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Pepe becomes a film so satisfied with itself that it leaves almost no room for us to deploy our own languages ​​in it. [Full review in Spanish] Oct 29, 2024 Full Review Hector A. Gonzalez InSession Film Pepe may not shake the sentimentality and spiritualness of Balthazar. However, it offers a unique, cinematic treat nonetheless. Rated: B Oct 5, 2024 Full Review Steve Erickson Arts Fuse ... A rare combo of formal beauty and political astuteness.
