El siervo de Dios is a curious piece from 1990, diving into the life and legacy of José Gregorio Hernández. The film captures this critical moment in Venezuelan history with a somber yet poignant tone. The pacing is reflective, allowing for introspection on faith and sacrifice. Mariano Álvarez delivers a performance that's both subtle and powerful, embodying the gravity of his role. The practical effects, while modest, effectively ground the narrative in its time and place. There's a haunting atmosphere that lingers, especially in the way it portrays the miracle that follows Hernández’s tragic fate. It’s not just a story of loss but a meditation on the impact of one life on many, which gives it a distinctive resonance.
