About This Movie

Murales is a fascinating piece of documentary filmmaking that really captures the raw emotion and grit of its subjects. The film weaves together the story of Francisco, who trains to swim across the Paraná River, with the poignant tales of former political prisoners who express their trauma and resilience through murals. The pacing can feel meditative at times, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of Argentina's history and the lingering scars of its dictatorship. The murals themselves are practically characters, vivid and haunting in their storytelling. There's a certain intimacy in the way the filmmakers approach their subjects; it’s like you're privy to their process and reflections.
