Entertainment Reviews:

New York Times - 01/11/1991

"...Adroitly avoids sensationaliziing its already explosive subject..."

Los Angeles Times - 03/30/1991

"...Rigorous....[The film] has the feel of fiction made documentary, and paradoxically, is beautiful and moving in its depiction of pervasive despair..."

Product Description:

The Sex Pistols' mantra "no future" takes on literal resonance in Victor Gaviria's powerful film about growing up on the streets of drug capital Medellin, Colombia. Centered around punk protagonist Rodrigo D's (Ramiro Meneses) attempt to transcend the poverty and violence of his urban environment through petty crime and rock music, the film's authenticity is only bolstered by its gritty quasidocumentary style and the use of nonprofessional actors culled from the streets of Medellin--many of whom were jailed or died violently even before the film's release.
