This Colombian film won the World Cinema Special Jury Award at Sundance and is being released in September by Neon. When studios cut trailers for foreign-language films, they either go ahead with the subtitles or cut together a bunch of scenes without dialogue. I prefer the former, this is one of the latter, but it has an effective, haunting feel to it nonetheless. Keep an eye out for this one.
