Jesús López
Directed by Maximiliano Schonfeld
(Argentina/France, 2021, Digital, in Spanish with English subtitles)
When promising young race-car driver Jesús López dies in a motorcycle accident, residents of his small town are deeply shaken. His teenage cousin Abel is gradually tempted to take Jesús’s place with family and friends, until Abel lets himself be possessed by Jesús’s spirit. Jesús López, the fourth feature from Maximiliano Schonfeld, is a captivating and elegantly directed mystical tale about community grief and emancipation.
