El retablo de mi protesta is an intriguing documentary that delves deep into the aftermath of a tragedy, focusing on Edilberto Jiménez, an altarpiece maker. His return to Ayacucho after the December 15, 2022 massacre feels heavy with emotion and purpose. The atmosphere is charged, almost palpable, as he creates another altarpiece. You can feel the weight of history and personal loss in every frame. The pacing is contemplative, allowing moments of reflection on grief and resilience. The practical effects are minimal but serve the story well, emphasizing the artistry of Jiménez rather than overwhelming it. Themes of memory, art as protest, and the healing power of creation make this one distinctively poignant.
