Secuestro Express (Jonathan Jakubowicz, 2005) 86’
This last screening will be introduced by Laura Turégano (Executive Director, KJCC).
In a night pregnant with a strange mix of tension and dizzy abandon, lovers Carla and Martin prowl clubs before drunkenly wandering back to his car. While he comes across as crass nouveau riche, she appears more liberal. Their conspicuous affluence, however, makes them ideal targets for kidnappers, who demand $20,000 to be delivered within two hours. The conception of Jonathan Jakubowicz’s film was seen undoubtedly marked by the political polarization that the country was living at that moment. The film was shot during the strike that Venezuela faced in 2002, which meant great difficulty for its production. It was an independent film that did not seek any state funding and was ultimately acquired by Miramax for global release.
