| | 1. |  | Aguirre, the Wrath of God
from New Yorker Video
Customer Review:
So shouts Klaus Kinski's Aguirre (a play on the French word for "war"?) at one point in this beautiful but intensely disturbing film. The story is simple and familiar: European conquistadores rampage through the "New World" in search of glory, power, and wealth, and are eventually destroyed by the... more info

| | 4. | [no image] | Don't Tell Anyone
from Picture This
Customer Review:
'No Se Lo Digas A Nadie' ('Don't Tell Anyone') is probably a good PR line for this little film trying to be something grand. In excess of two hours director Francisco J. Lombardi makes an attempt to bring to life the autobiography of gay Peruvian talk show host Jaime Bayly and to explore the angst... more info

| | 5. |  | Miracle in Rome
from Fox Lorber
Customer Review:
I first saw this movie on TV and was so taken by it that neither my daughter or myself could leave the room to go to the bathroom while it was on, thinking we would miss something. It is a movie that the intellectually challenged would not appreciate, but it absolutely captures the intellect of... more info

| | 6. | [no image] | La Boca Del Lobo
from Cinevista Inc.
Customer Review:
This is a classic character study of race,class and enthic groups in the setting of a Civil War ("Asymmetrical warfare"). While set in the mountains of Peru in the 1980's it could be anywhere today. The Enemy is never seen but is always but is always present. This could be used as the "what not to... more info

Another unknown but strong entry from South America in the crime drama category, Chilean director Gustavo Graef-Marino's Johnny 100 Pesos was a crowd pleaser at the Sundance Film Festival in 1994 (or 1995).Soon after Chilean dictator Pinochet was finally booted out of office, the actual events... more info

from Kino Video
Customer Review:
In an almost documentary style, Victor Gavina has created a remarkable film of life at the bottom in Medellin. Oppressed, disappeared, beaten, or killed by police, these children of the streets have little to do but rob for a living, [destroy] for sport or defense, drink beer and take drugs to pass... more info

| | 10. |  | "Alias, La Gringa "
from Facets
Price: $56.95
Customer Review:
This is one of the best movies I've seen on Peru. It is an excellent portrait of Peruvian society of the 1980s. It combines lyrical and epical tension in a way few movies are able to do. The characters are perfectly developed and acted by first rate actors. This is a perfect film to learn about Peru... more info
