"Black River"
1990
Directed by Atahualpa Lichy
A tale of power and
corruption set in the Amazonian jungles of Rio Negro. First, a new governor and his
ambitious wife (Angela Molina) successfully confront the brutal local chief, but the era
they usher in is one of gambling, prostitution and economic exploitation. Frank Ramirez
plays the head of security, who grabs control only to initiate a regime of austerity and
restriction as madness buries good intentions. Spanish with English subtitles.
116
