Basura

About This Movie

So, 'Basura' is this fascinating documentary by Roberth Fuentes that feels really raw and intimate. He uses his own body for performance, which is pretty engaging, honestly. The camera isn’t just there to capture; it’s almost like a companion in telling a deeper story about his life and the community around him. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to soak in the issues he faces—like the environmental crisis, particularly the garbage and plastics in oceans. It’s not just about the visuals; it’s the way he connects everything through personal narrative. The atmosphere can feel heavy but also deeply personal, which makes it distinctive. There’s a certain grit to the practical effects, and his performance is just layered with emotion.
