This debut film directed by Melina Leon is a stunning achievement. Based on actual events—baby-trafficking in Peru—Song Without a Name, tells the story of an Andean peasant woman who goes to the city to give birth in safety at a “real” clinic, only to discover that… Set in the era of the Shining Path terrors, with a beguiling bow to indigenous Quecha customs, the film is a Kafkaesque thriller slash reverie, at once sad and astonishing. Played the Cannes Film Festival.
