Perjuicio

About This Movie

Perjuicio is an intriguing exploration of morality, friendship, and desperation. The film unfolds in a single location, creating an almost claustrophobic atmosphere that enhances the tension between Gabriel and Alfredo. Gabriel, a quadriplegic, invites his former professor over with a very unusual agenda. The pacing is deliberate, allowing every word to hang heavy in the air, as layers of their past gradually unravel. The dialogue feels raw and genuine, with a palpable weight that lingers long after the credits roll. The performances are striking; Gabriel’s emotional turmoil contrasts sharply with Alfredo's conflicted responses. It's a thought-provoking piece that doesn't shy away from its dark themes, making it distinct in its approach to such sensitive subject matter.
