Piercing and poetic, Casas Muertas lyrically renders both a spirit of resistance and the resilience of a people who refuse to give up. The documentary is in itself an act of disobedience. Matecki’s methodology manifests an enticing otherworldly quality in this portrait of determination. It’s a film that functions in many ways: as an elegy for the dead souls lost to the authoritarian regimes, as an act of mourning, as a cry for justice, and as a prayer for the future.”
