Set in Chile in the summer of 1990, TOO LATE TO DIE YOUNG follows three youths grappling with growing pains. Their parents are creative outcasts who have chosen to live off the grid in a hippie commune. The kids, however, aren’t thrilled with their parents’ choice to eschew electricity and other modern conveniences. Sofia is 16 and much more mature than her friend Lucas. While she’s desperately trying to earn the attention of an older man, Lucas is struggling to manage his own feelings for her. Sofia is becoming more restless by the day and is working on a plan to move to the city. There’s also Clara, who’s several years younger, new to the community, and heartbroken over the disappearance of her dog. Though the kids’ problems are different, there’s a shared experience in coming to terms with life’s disappointments. The unpleasant obstacles they face will remove the protective shroud of innocence from their childhood. Beautifully shot and impressively acted, Dominga Sotomayor’s film adeptly captures the intense disarray of adolescence. (In Spanish with subtitles) —E.F.
