Film released: 2021
SummaryNot quite a masterpiece, but pretty good.
Review
The two actresses both excellent, also the supporting cast. Interesting use of slow fades to black on someone's face between time segments. Slightly jarring at the end as Arturo interviews the villagers for their memories of the killed menfolk and anything that might identify them before opening the grave, and then each thing in turn is discovered on a skeleton - a glass eye, a baby's rattle, a ring etc.
