Country: Colombia
Director: Cristina Gallego & Ciro Guerra
Cast: Carmiña Martínez, Natalia Reyes & José Acosta.
Rapayet wants to marry a woman called Zaida from a Wayuu family. They ask dowry from him and To make quick money, he decides to try his luck on illegal drug trading. Ursula, mother of Zaida is a respected woman who controls the family decisions.
The first thing that comes to my mind is the dance sequence in which a woman is introduced to inform people that she is ready to get married. Set in northern Colombia in the years between 1968 and 1980, Film mainly focuses on the lifestyle of the Wayuu family. The film follows a five-act structure - Wild Grass, The Graves, Prosperity, The War and Limbo. Filled with an immersive background score, "Birds of Passage" is an epic crime film with violent outrages and was selected as the Colombian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 91st Academy Awards. The title refers to the role of birds in the symbolic life of the Wayuu people which I guess. Overall, It offers a good viewing experience and worth a try if you like foreign movies.
Verdict: Good
