In the Argentine forest a man is released from a rural prison after serving times for killing his two brothers. Most of the movie is his boat journey home to find his daughter. When he gets there he encounters his grandchildren. Is he guilty, innocent? Will he kill the kids? Are they the bodies at the beginning of thefilm, or are those his brothers? The lack of answers could feel like a cop out, but left me with a nightmarish feeling of open ended horror. The style is simple and spare, with long wordless takes. But we know there's something going on, even if we never fully get the answers. Sort of a cinematic, visual equivalent of the plays of Harold Pinter. NB: The Facets DVD is a sadly weak transfer of this very striking looking film, but it's probably your only way to see this fascinating work. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Death rows a boat *by D***W on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 16, 2014* I never felt like this film knew exactly what it wanted to meditate on. Like the main character, Vargas, who is always looking around in a sort of anxious but also calm manner, the film never seems to get into a rhythm that allows us to 'be with' Vargas and for a film this slow it never really settles down.I did pick up on a feeling of impending doom, that Vargas is a sort of death bringer (Los Muertos) who as he travels along the river is always taking from the world around him, but not giving. He is always either given something by the people around him (drink, haircut, canoe), or he's clever enough to live off the land and survive with no help (the bee hive, and the goat). He's a formidable man who, we learn at the start, has been in prison for murder, but he's free now and I got the feeling his final intention was to finish something that had been left for a very long time.Yet there's so little to go on here that I'm not sure we're given enough information to really know what is going on and since the movie is mostly jungle scenery there isn't even enough visual information to key in on for some sort of theme about nature or survival. It's all a little too vague. Unsettling for sure, and for that reason it's worth at least seeing, but I think it sort of misses its mark in that it doesn't really know what it wants to 'say'. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An intriguing, almost surreal journey into the heart of some kind of darkness *by N***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 10, 2008* The beginning of this intriguing film is both magical and haunting. A camera wanders slowly through an unknown jungle, only occasionally zeroing in on something recognizable, a tree trunk, a bit of grass, for the most part the light that only shines partially through the green creates an iridescent pattern of crystals, until we recognize the body of a bleeding child, and then another, and the lower parts of a man who stalks past the camera with a bloody weapon. That's all we have, and all we know, but it leaves us with the suspicion that the seemingly passive and thoughtful prisoner we are introduced to next must have been the murderer.When we meet Vargas he is an aging man in prison, soon to be released. He is asked by a fellow prisoner to deliver a letter by canoe on his way to find his estranged daughter. As he travels deeper into the forest, he seems to be entering into his own, freeing himself from the estrangement and isolation he had built around himself in prison. There are a number of mysteries that surround his past, and the film is not aiming to reveal mysteries, only to depict a voyage whose outcome is an ambiguous return to the beginning. Vargas speaks only to serve some definite function, and answers questions regarding his past by denying its significance. Still, there is something quite powerful about the enigma that is Vargas, his almost animal bearing, his rough sensuality, his revelation through the landscape and its flowing waters. The film is most easily comparable to the work of Carlos Reygadas, and bears some resemblance to the enigmatic journey depicted in the film Japon. The film manages to maintain tension without any outward acceleration, a slow and simmering style. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/10869535-los-muertos](https://www.desertcart.be/products/10869535-los-muertos) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
