(🇬🇧🇦🇷🇩🇪) Polvo Serán/They Will Be Dust - ‘You don’t learn life, you live it and that’s it’

What a brilliant, brilliant, BRILLIANT film. This is one of those films you are EXCITED for other people to discover because it is simply SO DAMN GOOD. Yes, here at OBSCURAE we do not talk down films we don’t like (and we’ll see if my boss and friend

(🇬🇧🇦🇷🇩🇪)‘Village Keeper’ a.k.a ‘The Sunshine Lady’

‘And just like that I stepped back into my body again. It wasn’t a trickle, it was more like a flood.’ Village Keeper stands out by not following the route of comforting the audience by making the single black mother bring up superhuman strength to fight adversity but instead

Light Spoilers below. If you have South American heritage, this story will make sense to you. If you moved around a lot, this film will make sense to you. If you have lost someone this story will resonate with you. Los Tortuga/The Exiles deals with a family tree’s
