El kapo

About This Movie

El kapo is a raw dive into a chapter of history often overshadowed by other narratives. The film navigates the controversial life of César Orquín Serra, a Valencian anarchist who found himself in the Nazi camp system. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of reflection amidst harrowing accounts. It blends documentary style with dramatic reenactments, giving an almost haunting ambiance. What stands out is the film’s ability to challenge the viewer's perception of heroism and complicity, especially in such dire circumstances. The performances carry a weight that’s hard to shake off, and the real footage interspersed creates a jarring contrast that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll.
