The filmmakers are incredibly adept at relaying so very much almost imperceptibly.

Bonedry but deeply involving film about marginal characters in Montevideo, Uruguay

Takes a wry and observant look at human interaction. And along the way it subtly pokes fun at the machismo in Latino society.

Shadows on the Wall

This low-key tale, by sophomore Uruguayan filmmakers Juan Pablo Rebella and Pablo Stoll, takes its wry look at the lives of three average people with a straight face.
