MARIMBAS FROM HELL (2010)
Las Marimbas del Infierno
Dir: Julio Hernández Cordón
72 min.
Guatemala
What happens when you mix heavy metal with the jaunty marimbas, a giant instrument akin to a xylophone? Only time will tell in award-winning director Julio Hernández Cordón's second feature, whichfollows the stoic Don Alfonso, a down-and-out musician who needs a new path for himself and his beloved companion, a marimba inscribed with the words siempre juntos ("together always"). Through his glue-sniffing godson, Chiquilin, Don Alfonso meets the tattooed ex-satanist rocker Blacko, and the three form an unlikely union revolving around the national musical instrument of Guatemala. Melding documentary and narrative styles, as well as drama and humor, Hernández Cordón's genuine characters and telling longshots add depth to this imaginative tale.
