Long Night's Journey Into Day

"Blood and Rain" was the perfect title for this film, and what the audience will get is essentially nothing but blood and rain.The film is one, long bloody night in the mean streets of Bogota, as the taxi driver Jorge loses a grip in controlling his life after the death of his brother.It was difficult to follow the nuances of the narrative. What was the purpose of the long drive with Jorge and Angela taken hostage? The repellent perps had ample opportunity to kill Jorge, if that was their assignment. But it made no sense just driving around in the rain.The main focus of the film was really not on Jorge, but Angela. Clearly a damaged soul, Angela is not just looking for a good time, but is also a drug addict. The fateful moment when she declared that she needed some "blow" and left her apartment is a moment she surely will remember and regret. The actress playing Angela was terrific, which was the only redeeming feature of this bleak film.

Bleak black and not for kids or the weak of heart

On a rainy night in Bogata Jorge is dropping off a fare. Across the way car pulls up and two men tell Jorge that they want to set up a meeting for their boss to give him information about the death of his brother. Jorge doesn't want to hear it and doesn't feel safe so gets out of his cab with a crow bar. One of the other men beats him up for "disrespecting" them. This then sets in motion a series of events that will result his meeting lonely party girl Angela and violence.Nihilistic doesn't begin to describe this bleak black film. It's a film that hangs around you and makes you feel unclean. This is not a happy movie and you may hate yourself for seeing it, as a couple at the Tribeca film Festival screening I attended did. Its dark oppressive and you can't escape. It's a film that moves toward its conclusion with a certainty that none of the characters has, much like all of us.Its clearly the calling card of a director with a huge amount of talent.This is a film I admire a great deal. I'm still not sure I more than like it but at the same time I think that this a film worth seeing.A word of warning there is full frontal nudity, graphic sex, violence and general unpleasantness. This is a film that will probably be released in the US as either an NC17 or more likely unrated. Keep the kids away.
