"If we leave, our land will be left alone in silence." Kino Lorber has revealed the official US trailer for a Bolivian drama titled Utama, which originally premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. It earned some rave reviews from critics and went on to play at the Göteborg, Seattle, Sydney, Taipei, and Transilvania Film Festivals. In the Bolivian highlands, an elderly Quechua couple has been living the same daily life for years. During an uncommonly long drought, Virginio and his wife (Sisa) face a dilemma: resist or be defeated by the environment & time itself. This visually jaw-dropping debut by photographer Alejandro Loayza Grisi is lensed by award-winning cinematographer Barbara Alvarez (also of Lucretia Martel’s The Headless Woman) and won the Grand Jury Prize (in World Cinema Dramatic) at Sundance. Featuring local actors in all the roles. Utama is a bit of a slow burn thriller, very dry – both figuratively and literally considering it's about a drought – but rewarding in its complexity and compassion. Worth a watch. ›››
