The City of Wild Beasts (La ciudad de las fieras)

Directed by Henry Rincón
(Colombia, 2021, Digital, in Spanish with English subtitles)

Tato, a newly orphaned teenager, is an avid rapper. After an altercation with gang members, Tato must flee his neighborhood in the city of Medellín—and his only option is to live in the countryside with his estranged grandfather. Two generations, two ways of life, and a continuous feeling of loss, death, and loneliness reign over Tato’s life in his struggle to survive and find his own identity. The City of Wild Beasts, the impressive second feature from Henry Rincón, is a vigorous and engrossing tale of endurance.
