Piedad

About This Movie

Piedad is this offbeat comedy that dives into the lives of Rodolfa and Maria Antonieta, two sex workers who have a unique bond over their loves of spliffs and trap music. Set in a dilapidated airport's magic garden, the atmosphere is both surreal and gritty, blending humor with darker themes. The pacing is relaxed, allowing for character exploration amidst absurd situations, especially when Asunción arrives with a corpse. It's an interesting take on sexuality, friendship, and the unexpected turns life can take. Performances have a rawness that feels genuine, pushing the envelope without quite crossing it. Definitely a quirky piece that stands out for its setting and impractical scenarios.

Piedad is one of those titles that can be hard to find, and it’s not widely discussed among collectors, which adds to its charm. The film's unconventional narrative and distinctive aesthetic make it a curious addition to any collection focused on offbeat cinema. Limited releases and festival showings mean copies can be scarce, so it often piques interest among those looking for something that strays from mainstream plots.
