Review of Even the Rain (2011) by Joseph B — 15 Feb 2011
Dynamic portrait of real life "water war" in Bolivia in 2000 as foreign corporations privatized water control. Deftly juxtaposes a film crew's retelling of the Christopher Columbus story with modern conflict until the the film, the film's creation, and real life are nearly indistinguishable.
The crew is blind to irony of their own exploitation of natives while trying to tell a historical tale, as modern conflict breaks out. Fluid storytelling is the order of the day here. A bit obtuse in some characterization but mostly solid filmmaking.
