Particular Crowd, the fledgling U.S.-based film division from WarnerMedia’s Turner Latin America, has nabbed all Latin American rights to Argentine filmmaker Marcos Carnevale’s latest film, the dramedy “El Cuartito.”
Shot and produced entirely in Puerto Rico, “El Cuartito” refers to the security screening room that five Latinos are confined in when they run afoul of U.S. immigration authorities at Puerto Rico’s San Juan airport. Donald J. Trump was still president when film was made so his portrait hangs on the wall of the tiny room and is a key prop in the dramedy. Carnevale even incorporated the tremors of the 6.8-magnitude earthquake and the multiple aftershocks which struck Puerto Rico while they were filming.
Spain’s Mario de la Rosa, whose credits include Netflix hit “Money Heist” (“La Casa de Papel”), BBC’s “The Night Manager” and the latest James Cameron production “Terminator: Dark Fate,...

This film’s premise may promise many flights of fantasy and endearing whimsical humor, but what it delivers is something else entirely. A group of modern street kids must work together in a re-imagining of classic fairy tales. Sounds a bit like last year’s The Kid Who Would Be King, doesn’t it? Well, there are really few similarities, since this setting is a Mexican city turned war zone, with vicious drug runners blasting away at anyone, kids especially, that gets in their way. Can their belief in the power of those iconic stories and characters save these urchins, or will their sense of wonder lead them to their doom? Maybe they can learn to become fearless since Tigers Are Not Afraid.
We meet the film’s two main characters in the pre-title scenes. Middle school student Estrella (Paola Lara) is excited by the class assignment. Using classic characters and setting,...

A graffiti tiger paces behind the bars of his spray-painted cage. Rivulets of blood snake from a crime scene to track characters through paint-peeling hallways. A grand piano burns amid the shadows of a gutted warehouse. Goldfish swim in puddles carved into the cement that surrounds a shattered tank. These and the countless more equally stunning images crowd Issa López’s “Tigers Are Not Afraid,” searing themselves upon the brain — each and every one a metaphor (some more intuitive than others) for the dangers that daily face a group of Mexican street children, collateral damage in the country’s senseless drug war.
A well-established screenwriter whose credits run the gamut from romantic comedies to the tense, Tim Roth-starring cartel thriller “600 Miles,” still finding her voice as a director, López feels her way forward in a way that simply can’t be ignored with “Vuelven.” The title means “They Return” in Spanish,...

You know things are bad when the art coming out of an area reaches a point where “dark, metaphorical fairy tale” becomes a necessary style to wield as intense catharsis. There’s probably better markers to highlight when a community’s abject horror fosters enough self-destruction and futility to reach full exposure and ensure children can no longer be shielded from its truth, but that doesn’t diminish the heartbreaking sorrow this type of artistic choice lays bare. Because it’s one thing to accept a state of affairs under the belief that you still have the ability to avoid the nightmare so many others couldn’t and another to discover that control over your life has been taken out of your hands. Reality becomes too much to bare once men become monsters.

They said a woman couldn’t be president but now Isabel (Mariana Treviño) is taking over Los Cuervos de Nuevo Toledo in the second season of Netflix’s hit Spanish-language series “Club De Cuervos.”
At the end of the first season, her brother Salvador “Chava” Iglesias Jr., portrayed by Luis Gerardo Méndez, was voted out as president of the company after he put the team’s future and his late father’s legacy at risk with his limited knowledge of sports management and ruthless spending. Season 2 begins with Isabel trying to lead the team to victory.
“It’s one thing to want to be president, but it’s different if you try to screw me over,” Chava tells his sister in the trailer.
