A very funny film about an accidental cockfighter on the lam that has a very distinct visual identity. For the most part, the camera stays still, with the characters and their ridiculous situations providing plenty of activity to fill the frame. Sometimes, things are even left out of frame to keep you guessing before the reveal. This is a cheeky film that straddles both arthouse and broad comedy and actually gets away with it. A pleasure to watch, and makes me hopeful of more films to come from Central America.
