DÍAS DE SANTIAGO
DAYS OF SANTIAGO
Santiago, an intense 23-year old young man trained for nothing but fighting, finds himself back in normal life after service in the army. His wife is at the point of leaving him, his family wants to keep him at a distance. With a large chip on his shoulder, he is frus-trated in his desires to get an education while his old comrades try to persuade him to join them in their dream of robbing banks. Skilfully interweaving black and white and colour footage in a way that both heightens the films realism and the sense of despair and frustration of his protagonist, Josué Mendéz has created a distinctive portrait of life in Lima. He makes very palpable the way the young mans training has circum-
scribed his life, made him the victim of assumptions in the reactions of others, in spite of the fact that his army career has been in their service. (Simon Field)
