Os Colonos

Um drama austeramente encenado no formato 4:3, de um ambiente hostil da Terra do Fogo durante o período histórico da sua cruel colonização. Visuais e atuação minimalistas, cru na brutalidade da violência e perversão sexual. O personagem do tenente escocês, bem interpretado por Sam Spruell, é o auge nutritivo da alma sombria e corrompida do filme. O grande aplauso do público de língua espanhola durante a projeção do festival indicou a importância da reflexão sobre os lados obscuros da história sul-americana. Todas as nações de alguma forma lidam com o seu passado. [San Sebastian FF] (24/09/2023)

I was tempted by the perverse violence, shocking and sexually twisted, it sounded like the Chilean version of A Serbian Film featuring colonists and I couldn't miss it, but the result is a heavyweight borefest, where I was bored to the point of hallucination! The actors, the dialogue and the story were very uninteresting, really zero interest, it went absolutely off the rails and that one rape of a guy by a guy really didn't get me out of my seat. There was one more brutal scene, but that's really pathetically small. I was kind of hoping for some proper carnage in the finale to pull it up to at least average. I'd describe it as a True descent into the Madness of Boredom ! Historical cheaply made art from Chile. It made me boil with hatred. Audience ingratitude. Fuck those settlers! 3/10. (01/04/2024)
