The Wind Journeys ("Los viajes del viento")
Director: Ciro Guerra
Starring: Marciano Martinez, Yull Núñez
Year: 2009
A musician travels a great distance to return an instrument to his elderly teacher. (source: IMDB)
Comments: The film is beautifully shot against the landscape of Columbia. But what makes this movie special is the music and the earthy performances of the Columbian troubadours, whose voices and lyrics are haunting. For only his second feature film, Guerra does a masterful job juxtaposing the beauty of the landscape with the harshness of the lives of his characters.
Recommended.
