Pelícano

Writer/Director/Composer Gustavo Letelier showcased his considerable skills with this film. During the movies first moments, I commented to my wife that the cinematography was excellent, and that excellence continued throughout. The film is creatively told in flashback form, which along with its subtitles, made it necessary to pay close attention in order to understand the goings on. "Pelicano" is a melodrama in its purest form, with an unexpected monster of a character. The acting is very good overall, and once I was drawn into the narrative, I was transfixed. Mr. Letelier shows a deft touch as a filmmaker, and was able to incorporate some artistic cinematic elements that felt just right. If you're looking for laughs, this isn't the film for you. But if heavy/lurid drama makes you a happy viewer, you'll be elated with this one. "Pelicano" one of the better indie films I've seen.
