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.

Tara Brady Irish Times The cumulative effect of the speculative fantasy and hybrid presentation is profoundly sad, as a voiceless victim of the drug cartels meets a terrible fate in a strange land. Rated: 4/5 Feb 28, 2025 Full Review Carlos Aguilar RogerEbert.com An exciting, visually unpredictable consideration of colonialism and human hubris tinged with the fantastic. Rated: 3/4 Jan 10, 2025 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Perhaps the film itself, so mysteriously distended with huge digressions and non-narrative scenes, is as exotically fleshy and strange as a hippo. Yet it has bite. And the hippos themselves are entrancing. Rated: 4/5 Jan 8, 2025 Full Review Marissa Hill Shade Studios Visually, Pepe has a deliberately aged, almost retro aesthetic, and the pacing can feel slow at times. There’s a lot to absorb, especially for viewers unfamiliar with the larger context of Escobar’s cocaine empire. Jul 30, 2025 Full Review Yasser Medina Cinefilia De Los Santos demonstrates some of his aesthetic expertise, but I feel that his narrative here lacks emotion and, for the most part, his experimental pretensions are lost in a rather convoluted discursive synthesis. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 6/10 Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com An extravagant experience, fascinating in many sections and provoking in a few.
