Decembers

About This Movie

Decembers is a fascinating blend of documentary and drama that really dives into the complex emotions surrounding loss and resolution. The ghostly presence of a photo-journalist, killed during a pivotal moment in 1989, adds a haunting layer to the narrative. Enrique Costas Ríos makes his feature-length debut here, using a mix of archival footage and fictional storytelling that feels both raw and poetic. The pacing can be reflective at times, allowing the weight of history and personal conflict to settle in. The atmosphere has this eerie yet thought-provoking quality, exploring themes of memory, family, and the scars left by conflict. It's not your typical documentary; it has a unique voice that lingers long after the credits roll.
