From Afar
Winner of the Golden Lion (Best Film) Award at Venice Film Festival. Wealthy, middle-aged Armando (Alfredo Castro) lures young men to his home with money. He doesnt want to touch, only watch from a strict distance. Armandos first encounter with street thug Elder (Luis Silva) is violent, but this doesnt discourage the lonely mans fascination with the tough handsome teenager. Financial interest keeps Elder visiting him regularly and an unexpected intimacy emerges. However, Armandos haunted past looms large, and Elder commits the ultimate act of affection on Armandos behalf.
With this quietly stunning first feature, writer/director Lorenzo Vigas became the first Venezuelan to win Venices Golden Lion, in 2015. The achievement was far from a freakish anomaly. From Afar is an intelligent, daring, brilliantly constructed and acted film, announcing yet another Latin director who understands the virtue of restraint. - Sight & Sound
