Movie Reviews of El Silencio de Neto (The Silence of Neto)
Movie Review: It's PG Worthy!
Summary: 5 Stars
Not only is this an awesome movie, but it would be appropriate to show in a high school. My students enjoyed it. I won't summarize it, because others already have, but I will say that this is one of the best foreign films I have seen in a long time. It is often very difficult to find films that are appropriate for adolescent viewers, but this is one!
Summary of El Silencio de Neto (The Silence of Neto)
A film of great dramatic power and stunning visual beauty, "The Silence of Neto" is the first internationally acclaimed, award winning film produced entirely in Guatemala for the international market. Mixing magic-realism with historical events, and filmed in the colonial city of Antigua, "The Silence of Neto" tells the politically-charged story of a young boy striving to follow his dreams while his country struggles to preserve democracy amidst CIA coldwar propaganda. Through the eyes of young Neto, we are given an authentic insider's look at the diverse people of Guatemala and the historical events that have shaped their destiny.
