Poet Blu-Ray Standard Edition

***THIS IS THE STANDARD EDITION AND DOES NOT CONTAIN A SLIP COVER*** Middle-aged and erratic, Oscar is a failed writer who has given up on life.
Unemployed and living with family, he wanders the streets of Medellín in a drunken
stupor, lamenting the state of literature in his home country, where he has
succumbed to the cliché of the tortured artist. However, the opportunity to mentor a
young student offers a chance at redemption, if he doesn’t screw it up first. In a
performance marked by darkly comic pathos, first-time actor Ubeimar Rios stars in
Simón Mesa Soto’s Un Certain Regard Jury Prize-winner A Poet, a raw and riotous farce about how good deeds are often met with the universe’s idea of cruel and unusually poetic punishment. — Commentary from Director Simón Mesa Soto
— Booklet with new writing by film critic Siddhant Adlakha
