Cola de Mono (2018)
5.4
Chilean author, journalist, filmmaker Alberto Fuguet has written a host of books, some of which have been translated into English and, in the case of “Tinta Roja,” made into a film by Peru’s Francisco Lombardi.
“Locations: Looking for Rusty James,” Fuguet’s docu about the making of Francis Ford Coppola’s “Rumble Fish,” was presented at Telluride by Coppola and is included in the Criterion Collection.
Fugue’s sixth and latest film, “Cola de Mono,” made for roughly $10,000 via bank loans and personal investors, is his boldest yet and was among the buzz films at L.A.’s Outfest.
