A beautiful cinematography

La Fortaleza is a movie about Roque, a man who returns to the Amazon after leaving Caracas, a city filled with protests and the constant reminder of the economic crisis the country is facing. In a way, yes, it's about a man who quits trying to understand what's happening in this country and goes full Joaquín Phoenix/Daniel Day-Lewis mode in the jungle... and yeah... I felt that.

However all politic themes are only implied, the central story is the self-destructing tendencies of a man battling the jungle and his own mind while he reconnects with old friends and discovers how contagious greed is.

This movie has probably the most beautiful cinematography I've seen in recent Venezuelan movies, Jorge Roque Thielen (Father of the director) gives a powerful performance, the script is in part based on his personal experiences and it's great to see a father-son collaboration that feels honest, personal and moving. I hope this movie gets all the recognition it deserves.
