Review of Veneno (2018) by Linda M — 22 Apr 2018
As a fan of foreign films, I was happily surprised to see Veneno opening at my local AMC super complex. The opening credits are creatively presented as if on actual lucha libre promotional posters. The music helps create a delirious atmosphere during the wrestling matches and other fast-paced scenes.
Camera shots of Santo Domingo and other outside scenes are luxurious in their scope and dream-like quality. Dark clouds and lightening underline the impending conflicts between wrestlers/friends. I had a bit of trouble keeping up with the subtitles as the rapid fire of Spanish kept the story moving.
My fault though; not the movie. All in all, I loved it and can't wait for the sequel in 2020.
