About This Movie

So, 'Los peces también saltan' is an intriguing documentary. It really digs into the Chacarita cemetery, which is pretty expansive at 95 hectares. The film has this immersive quality that draws you into the lives of the people who work there and the rituals surrounding death. The pacing feels contemplative, almost meditative at times. You get this sense of place, where architecture meets personal stories, and it’s not just about the graves—it’s about the living, too. The characters feel real, their experiences resonate. It’s more than just visuals; the atmosphere is palpable, giving weight to the everyday life and the job of caretaking in such a unique space. Definitely a distinctive take on death and memory.
