Holy Beasts
Directed by Laura Amelia Guzmán, Israel Cárdenas
Synopsis
Aging punk diva Vera V. (Geraldine Chaplin) arrives in Santo Domingo to direct a musical as a cinematic tribute to her mentor, the late filmmaker Jean-Louis Jorge. Welcoming her are two old friends, the producer Victor (Jaime Pina) and cinematographer Martin (Luis Ospina), with whom Vera spent the golden years of her youth as part of Jorge's artistic troupe. Rounding out the production team is Vera's bizarre confidant and choreographer, Henry (Udo Kier). But while the Caribbean production is sumptuous and the musical numbers are grand, mysterious forces begin to threaten the shoot as the specter of death casts a foreboding shadow on the haunted production.
