A beautiful, sad, mesmerizing look at longing, belonging, memory, and growing up, the film (released by Netflix and currently on the shortlist for the Oscars’ Best International Feature Film category) marks a breakthrough for its director: It’s the kind of aesthetically delicate film that immediately makes you take notice of the person who made it. The somber, moving picture also represents a surprising demonstration of his range as a filmmaker: Just the year prior, Frías helmed the entire first season of HBO’s hilarious, surreal comedy Los Espookys , which, at least on its surface, wouldn’t seem to have … [Read more...] about Oscar Hopeful Fernando Frías Has the Range
