Watching some interesting films on Kanopy...El Regreso (The Return)

Drama · After a decade abroad, Antonio returns to Costa Rica for a short visit. Unable to run away as usual, he is confronted with everything he has desperately struggled to put in the past: We have a Costa Rican film in which all the elements align to create a wonderful piece. A good screenplay, great actors (specially the little boy, he's amazing!), pristine direction, editing, etc. The movie is entertaining, heart warming, easy to watch and thought provoking. It's a great insight into life in San José, and the way of life for most people there.

The story behind the film is as interesting as the film.
