Los Reyes
Year: 2018
Country:
CHILE
Language:
Spanish
Run Time:
78 minutes
Every day, groups of teenagers meet to hang out, to gripe, and to skate at Los Reyes, the oldest skatepark in Santiago de Chile. Day in and day out, their skateboarding sessions are interrupted by Football and Chola, two stray dogs who send their balls into the skate pools and bark until one of their human friends retrieve them. As the canine keepers of Los Reyes, Football and Chola spend their days forcing the skaters into games of fetch, lounging in the shade, and barking at vehicles and passersby. A purely observational documentary, LOS REYES uses intimate shots of the harmonious animals, juxtaposed with disquieting voice-over from the gang of troubled teens who also inhabit the park. Astounding in its minimalism and microfocus, LOS REYES is a refreshingly simple documentary that captures the independent lives and big personalities of two Chilean street dogs and the skatepark they call home. Prepare to laugh, to cry, and to be moved by this exceptionally hypnotic and insightful film. (In Spanish with subtitles) —G.S.

Since its inception, the documentary work by Bettina Perut and Iván Osnovikoff has stood out for the risk and creativity in its themes, treatments, and points of view. With seven feature films to their credit, their poetic journey is full of turning points and mutations that have accompanied the technological and cultural transformations of their time, challenging the most stable and conservative premises of what is meant by documentary filmmaking.
