Barbet Schroeder’s Colombian movie “Our Lady of Assassins” (2000) gave a good experience of how the City of Medellin in Colombia goes about with its everyday life. There is a gay brothel, anarchic violence in every corner of the city, drug addicts and dealers, a reason to live and a reason to die, whores, poverty and where the institution of the church has completely failed.
It is not a movie for everyone – but a must-see for the few who bothered to turn the stone or took a different path. There was no room for any optimism in this movie. In times to come, this may well turn out to be a cult movie.
