The Night Watchman
Natalia Almada / Mexico, United States / 2011 / East European Premiere / 72 min.
synopsis
FilmCEMETERY prefers the wind in the leaves and the monotonous work of bricklayers over the pompous funerals at the cemetery in the Mexican town of Culiacán, made infamous by the drug trade. This silent meditation on violence focuses on the cemetery caretaker, a witness to the construction of bizarre marble mausoleums and glass-encased crypts for the local drug bosses.more about film
