Released in 2022, Latin Noir is a documentary film directed by Andreas Apostolidis, running about 55 minutes. “Latin America Through Its Crime Novelists” — that tagline sets the tone.
What it’s about. In the land of the Zapatistas, Augusto Pinochet, and Fidel Castro, what are the stories Latin Americans have been telling to confront their troubled past? The film travels to 5 Latin American cities, to meet with famous crime novelists Leonardo Padura (Havana), Luis Sepulveda (Santiago), Paco Ignacio Taibo II (Mexico City), Santiago Roncagliolo (Lima) and Claudia Pineiro (Buenos Aires). Through their stories, we discover a unique genre of flourishing literature, strikingly different from its North American or Nordic counterparts: it's political, dark, and crimes are committed by the state itself.
Who’s in it. Latin Noir stars Macarena Benites as Narrator, Pedro Fabian as Narrator, Paris Ferraro as Narrator and Luis Gomezbeck as Narrator, among others.
