In both cases, the eventual reveal puts a poignant coda on stories of young Latinos struggling to escape the cycle of ignorance and unhealthy behavior that threatens to pull them under.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    An optimistic entry in a traditionally brutal genre, \u201cSujo\u201d is a story about defying gravity. Like Sleeping Beauty \u2014 who manages to prick her finger, even after all of the spinning wheels in the kingdom were thought destroyed \u2014 or tragic figures from Greek mythology whose fates are dictated by the gods, the title character seems doomed to follow in the footsteps of his father, Josue (Juan Jes\u00fas Varela Hern\u00e1ndez), a sicario killed by the same cartel for which he worked.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Rondero and Valadez (who collaborated on 2020 Sundance breakout \u201cIdentifying Features\u201d) <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roach the sensationalistic topic of the Mexican drug wars with an art-house sensibility, s<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>ping away the illicit glamour that accompanies more action-oriented south-of-the-border thrillers, like \u201cMiss Bala\u201d or \u201cSicario.\u201d If anything, it\u2019s more like Richard Linklater\u2019s \u201cBoyhood,\u201d as the filmmakers check in on Sujo (played by two different actors) over the years. First, they introduce his father as a child, still innocent enough to imagine whatever kind of life he wanted for himself. Young Josue marvels at the sight of a wild horse, a gorgeous animal that comes to represent a kind of freedom he will never know, but which Josue\u2019s son may someday achieve, if only the boy can avoid the pitfalls that surround him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    In an unsettling early scene, Sujo (Kevin Uriel Aguilar Luna) sits in the backseat while his father handles his business, which, on this particular occasion, means making someone disappear. Locked in the car, the oblivious boy doesn\u2019t understand what\u2019s happening, but audiences will, which makes this dark variation on a \u201ctake your son to work day\u201d uniquely chilling. How can the child possibly forge a path for himself if his own father \u2014 his strongest role model and a tender presence at home \u2014 normalizes this kind of activity from such an impressionable age?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The filmmakers present this memory from Sujo\u2019s perspective: Bored at first, then anxious and uncomprehending when Josue (known as \u201cOcho,\u201d according to his place in the cartel hierarchy) doesn\u2019t return for hours, he sits in the cars for hours until an old man happens to pass by. What if that had been the last time Sujo saw his father?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Rondero and Valadez resist depicting violence outright \u2014 which may disappoint those hoping for a more conventional thriller \u2014 though it lurks like some kind of bloodthirsty carnivore, licking its jaws just off-screen for most of the picture. Their script provides just enough information to put the pieces together, suggesting what Josue did to seal his own fate (he killed the son of the local cartel boss) as well as the threat that Sujo was destined to wind up \u201cin the same barrel\u201d where they\u2019ve stuffed his dad\u2019s body.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    When the local drug lord comes looking for Sujo, DP Ximena Amann crouches under the kitchen table with the boy, who can\u2019t possibly know the stakes of this particular <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> of hide and seek. Or maybe he does: Sujo wets himself in that moment. Fortunately for the child, Josue\u2019s sorceress-like sister Nemesia (Yadira P\u00e9rez Esteban), who lives in a hut outside of town without floors or electricity, steps in to raise her orphaned nephew.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    From this point forward, the movie cycles through the key influences in the life of Sujo (played as a young man by Juan Jes\u00fas Varela), some of whom \u2014 like cousins Jai (Alexis Jassiel Varela) and Jeremy (Jairo Hernandez Ramirez), who joins the cartel \u2014 pull him back toward temptation. Others, such as the big-city teacher, Susan (Sandra Lorenzano), who sees a different kind of potential in the boy, encourage him to find another path.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Narratively speaking, the story is most exciting when the risks to Sujo are greatest. But the moments that stick with you in the days and weeks afterwards are the quiet ones: glimpses into the life of a kid plucked from a macho culture and raised in secret. Deprived of a father figure, Sujo is forced to define his own masculinity, and teased when he reaches Mexico City by the tough guys as an outdoor boxing gym.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Somehow, Jai manages to track him down, and suddenly, whatever progress Sujo had made toward a new life (which includes enrolling in Susan\u2019s class) could be wiped out by the wrong decision. In \u201cSujo,\u201d it\u2019s not enough to escape the lure of the cartels; someone in his position must consciously move away from that world with every choice. When the explanation of Sujo\u2019s name finally comes, there\u2019s a tragic irony to its significance, and the fact Sujo will never learn what we do about its origins. The father who christened him is gone, but it\u2019s clear from that scene he wanted his boy to be free.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
