Los reyes del mundo - Expat Cinema Rotterdam

Los Reyes Del Mundo, directed by Laura Mora Ortega, is filled with stunning cinematography. Set in Colombia, the film follows five teenagers seeking to escape the violence and poverty they grew up in and start a new life. As the story moves from the bustling streets of Medellin to the misty Andes mountains, Mora captures a breathtaking and visually striking portrayal of a country in transition. Los Reyes Del Mundo is far more than just another social film about poverty and injustice in Colombia. Its dreamlike and surreal imagery, along with dynamic camerawork, make it truly special. The camera stays intimately close to the characters—walking, playing, climbing, and stumbling alongside them. A well-deserved winner at the San Sebastián Film Festival.
