Nefandus is an intriguing blend of documentary and historical narrative, set against the stunning backdrop of the Colombian Caribbean. The film follows two men, an indigenous individual and a Spanish-speaking companion, as they navigate the Don Diego river by canoe. The atmosphere is heavy with an unspoken tension, as they recount sordid tales of 'unspeakable sins' and 'abominable crimes' related to acts of sodomy in the Americas. It’s not just a journey through nature; it’s a deep dive into cultural sins and the weight of history. The pacing is contemplative, allowing the viewer to absorb the gravity of their stories. The practical effects are subtle, letting the raw storytelling take center stage, making it a distinctive exploration of taboo and memory.
