A patient, formally daring work — the cinematography lingers on empty rooms longer than most audiences will tolerate, but those who stay are rewarded with the most haunting final act of the year.
A Square is Born
In 1988, the Cuban State started to build a monumental tomb for the guerrilla fighter Ernesto 'Che' Guevara, despite the fact that his body was still missing in the Bolivian forest. Amid controversies and conspiracy theories, the Communist Party commissioned aficionado filmmakers Secades and Garcia to document the work, with the backing and supervision of the revolutionary armed forces. Nace una plaza is the documentary resulting from this experience.

I walked in expecting another genre exercise and walked out feeling like I'd been eavesdropping on a confession. The lead performance is genuinely singular — a career-defining turn.

A few too many scenes feel borrowed from a better film, but the soundtrack and the production design carry the rest. Solid recommendation for fans of slow-burn European thrillers.
