2018 film directed by Rafael Martínez Moreno

In a retro-futuristic, tropical-punk twist on Dante’s Inferno, a group of misfits converges at Babel, a legendary dive bar that doubles as purgatory, where La Flaca—the city’s Grim Reaper—presides. Here, souls gamble years of their lives with her, daring to outwit Death Herself.

A voice that claims to belong to a hippopotamus. A voice that does not understand the perception of time. A voice that tells of a historical event as if in a trance. “Am I making that sound that comes out of my mouth? And what is a mouth anyway?” The only thing the animal knows for sure is that it is dead. The first and only hippopotamus ever killed in the Americas. The Colombian press called him Pepe. Between encounters and misunderstandings, epiphanies and sadness, we enter a world full of stories replete with even more stories. In a serious and playful way, both authentic and deceptive, images and sounds narrate the overwhelming orality of places full of beings who, like Pepe, died without ever knowing where they really were.

Taking the title of the most emblematic song by Joe Arroyo, one of the ground-breaking forces of Caribbean music, “Rebellion” transports us to a period, a place and a state of mind. Arroyo, the leader of the 1970s salsa explosion, finally receives the movie he deserves. It’s a trip to the darkest side of creation, the possessiveness of music compared to other loves, reaching the deep bottom a genius has to touch to emerge with gems to be cherished by everyone. Arroyo blended together salsa, cumbia, konpa, zouk and other styles from the African diaspora in a fusion of inimitable sound which the movie dares to reflect in images. Timeless songs (be sure not to miss referential tracks such as “Manyoma”, “La noche”) burst forth from his devotion to music, febrile moments of creativity and illumination but also nights of loneliness, madness, crossed feelings, passion, emotions and chaos. “Rebelion” arises as a timeless journey to the roots of creation, presenting Joe Arroyo as a true rebel. How to depict one of the best performers ever? Don't expect a classic musical. Jorge Rugeles (“Alias Maria”, Cannes 2015), well-experienced in many fields, shows that Colombian cinema has its own deep personality, beyond the standards of its northern neighbour, delivering a really special “El Joe” singer biopic that will allow us to know not just his music, but quite a lot more – the legend. 源自：
