About This Movie

Eleguá, this 2018 drama, is a subtle exploration of recovery, anchored by the compelling performance of its lead, Mariana. The pacing is deliberately slow, which adds to the weight of her emotional journey. You really feel her struggle and desire for happiness as she navigates the shadows of depression. The cinematography captures a raw, almost poetic quality, enhancing the atmosphere—there's a tactile sense of the environments she inhabits. It’s not about grand gestures but rather the small, poignant moments that resonate. The film's use of practical effects is minimal but effective, really focusing on the internal rather than the external. A distinctive piece that reflects on personal transformation and resilience, it’s more about feeling than action.
