Of Love and Other Demons

Costa Rican writer and director Hilda Hidalgo adapts the novel by Gabriel García Márquez about the forbidden love between a teenager of noble heritage and a young priest who's sent to take care of her on behalf of the church after she's bitten by a rabid dog. Hidalgo's focuses on the coming of age of a girl who's abandoned and displaced amidst her sexual awakening during the dark ages where the church ruled the world with their black and white view of the world. Beautiful and poetic at the same time with stunning cinematography and understated performances. YRCinema's coverage of the 33rd edition of the Mill Valley Film Festival.
