The Gold Seekers (2017) - 102 min

Country: Paraguay
Director: Juan Carlos Maneglia, Tana Schémbori.
Cast: Celso Franco, Lali Gonzalez & Nelly Davalos
Manu, a newspaper boy discovers a map that falls out of a book which he receives from his treasure hunting grandfather. With the help of two others, Manu starts his adventure ride to find the hidden treasure.
Paraguayan duo Juan Carlos Maneglia and Tana Schembori expand their territory to exceed their own film "7 Boxes" international outreach. The first movie success makes them a little nervous or afraid of doing the second project, which may be one of the reasons why they took a long five-year gap. Richard Careaga's cinematography was exceptional in "7 Boxes" movie and his hyperactive style is one of the strongest aspects of this movie too. It was Paraguay’s second feature to be submitted for Oscar Foreign Language film. The thing I like the most about the movie is we actually think like Manu's character and misses some hidden notes like Manu did. Overall, It's a likable entertainment movie from the directors of "7 Boxes" with a small twist in the tale.
Verdict: Good
