About This Movie

So, 'Quito 2023' is this gritty take on a dystopian future, where the city’s under the harsh rule of a military dictator. The atmosphere is heavy, almost claustrophobic, thanks to the walled-off city that feels like a character in itself. César Izurieta dives deep into themes of rebellion and the cost of freedom, with a pacing that keeps you on edge. The plot revolves around a group of revolutionaries, led by these two brothers, Marcos and Santiago, who are grappling with their own ideals and the looming threat of betrayal. The performances are raw and intense, particularly the dynamic between the leads, which adds a layer of tension. Practical effects lend a gritty realism, enhancing the already dark tone of the film. It’s got this unique vibe that sets it apart in the sci-fi thriller realm.
