La Zona
Series: New Directors/New Films [March 26 - April 6, 2008]
Director: Rodrigo Plá, Release: 2007, Runtime: 97
The privileged isolation of wealthy people in gated communities does little to insulate them from the dangers of a society where the gap between rich and poor increases with dizzying haste. As in a horror movie, the unnaturally perfect ‘zona’ is as much a character as the inhabitants, a premise filmmaker Rodrigo Plá exploits with impressive dramatic flair. After a robbery goes awry and one of the young robbers goes on the run inside the gates, vigilante justice and private contractors conspire to keep the police at bay. The disaffected, powerless teens on both sides forge a bond against the older generation’s vulgar displays of wealth and entitlement. The pitch-perfect direction and well-honed script of this edge-of-the-seat suspense film provide a perfect backdrop for the three-dimensional characters.
