About This Movie

Alias Alejandro is this raw, personal journey through the filmmaker's search for his father, a man who became entangled with the MRTA rebels. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, as it shifts from one location to another, allowing you to absorb the atmosphere of each city—Berlin, Stockholm, Lima. The documentary doesn’t shy away from the complexities of identity and the shadow of history. You can really sense the conflict within the filmmaker; he grapples with the duality of his father's legacy as both a political figure and a distant parent. The tone is deeply reflective, creating an emotional resonance that lingers long after viewing. It's a distinctive exploration of family and ideology, and honestly, it’s more than just a search—it’s a deep dive into what makes us who we are.
