Un poeta arrives at Cine MAMM
Date: from August 28
Not many Colombian films are recognized at the Cannes Film Festival, and ‘Un poeta’, by Simón Mesa Soto, was awarded the Special Jury Prize in the ‘Un Certain Regard’ category, making it one of the most anticipated films of the year, and now you can enjoy it at Cine MAMM.
This film follows Óscar Restrepo, a man whose obsession with poetry brought him no glory. Aged and erratic, he has succumbed to the cliché of the poet in the shadows. Meeting Yurlady, a humble teenager, and helping her cultivate her talent brings some light to his days, but dragging her into the world of poets may not be the right path.
On Thursday, September 4, we will have the opportunity to learn more about ‘Un poeta’ in a screening with a conversation featuring the director, Simón Mesa Soto, and part of the film’s cast.
