This is a film that was voted best Chilean film of all time in a poll of the country’s critics. And it is indeed excellent. Serial killer kills the woman he is staying with in a rural town, then kills all her children and goes on the run. Mostly told in flashback from court and prison it is indeed a harrowing film. Shot in stark black and white with an often rough but visually arresting style. The narrative is fragmented but it comes together as a coherent whole. Bleak, dismal and brilliant.
