Endless Revolutions

SO FOUL A SKY

Álvaro F. Pulpeiro | Spain, Colombia, United Kingdom, Venezuela | 2021 | 83 min
O.V in Spanish subtitled in English
Un cielo tan turbio

In a ghostly landscape flanked by oil refineries and semi-deserted villages, the borders of Venezuela (a leading world-wide oil power, today in ruins due to an aggravated humanitarian crisis) remain a swarm where only few can survive. In this immersive, sensorial film, we delve into this nocturnal world of petrol smugglers in the desert, vigilant patrols in the Caribbean Sea and immigration controls at Brazilian gates, in an unusual look, far from sensationalism, on the apocalyptic panorama of post-Chávez Venezuela.
