Audience Member The animal's wife ( La Mujer del Animal ) It is a Colombian drama film. Its writer was Victor Gaviria and its writer was Victor Gaviria. Its release date was September 12, 2016. The story shows Amparo, a submissive young woman, trying to escape from her strict school of nuns falls into the hands of "the animal", an abusive and violent man who, without her approval, forcibly turns her into his woman. Imprisoned in fear of losing her life and constantly abused, she clings to her love for her daughter and the desire to build a new path, yet her strength and dignity may not be enough to face the cruel and cruel. ruthless animal. It is a shocking film from its drama, because it is recorded in places of misery, it looks very real and touches the feelings of the people who identify with this story. It is based on a real life story. Its actors are ordinary people who never studied acting, it was filmed in Colombia in places controlled by violence, it is an independent film and shows what women sometimes suffer because of heartless men. The film is very strong, for example the scenes of beatings and rapes look very real. This type of film is very complicated with actors without study or experience, but it is the format of this director who wanted to do something similar to what was a success with the movie La Vendendora de Rosas. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member 4.2/5 I will never be able to say with absolute certainty if the maximum impact of the film is entirely dependant on the viewers nationality, but at least with its undeniable and painful rendition of a clear culture of violence, in a major sense thanks to its full artistic interest on realism and denouncement, La Mujer del Animal easily could (and should) be in one of those classical disturbing movies lists.
