A vivid and intimate account of the Venezuelan crisis, Jorge Thielen Armand‘s powerful debut docu-drama ‘La Soledad’ premiered in Venice last year and has done a successful festival run since, notably winning the Audience Award in Miami.
Combining sharp social critique with the offbeat poetry of magical realism, LA SOLEDAD offers an engaging portrait of the effects of economic catastrophe on individuals’ lives. The film not only offers a lyrical evocation of a decaying world but also opens up new possibilities for documentary cinema.
