De este pueblo, a 1985 piece from the Grupo Cine Testimonio, is an interesting anthology that encapsulates a specific time in Latin American cinema. Each short, from The Nose to La Cruz Gil, carries a distinct narrative style, tackling various societal themes, though they are all rooted in the same cultural and historical context. The pacing is uneven, reflecting the experimental nature of the period, which might not resonate with everyone but provides a raw authenticity. The performances feel genuine, often capturing the essence of everyday struggles. The practical effects aren’t flashy, but they serve their purpose well. This film stands out for its mosaic-like storytelling approach, offering glimpses into the collective consciousness of a community navigating change.
