![]() Gustavo Rondon Cordova's debut feature is reportedly the first film from Venezuela to ever be part of the Cannes Critics' Week competition. A father and his 12-year-old kid from the outskirts of Caracas have to run after the son knifes down a peer from a potentially vengeful family in the slums in La familia, a lean and mean debut from Venezuelan writer-director Gustavo Rondon Cordova that clocks in at a fleet 82 minutes. Over the course of just a couple of days, Cordova follows the child protagonist as he’s introduced to the life of his single father, who is trying to hold down several jobs and doing a little illegal hustle on the side just so he can put food on the table for his kid. Though neither is really the talkative type, Cordova and his leads manage to convey a wealth of information between the lines as the wayward son gets his first real peek at some of the responsibilities that come with adult life. Often quick on its feet and energetic rather than melodramatic or inward-looking, this is a promising debut that not only suggests Cordova is a name to watch but that also, after Venezuela’s Golden Lion win for Lorenzo Vigas’ From Afar, the country could be breeding a filmmaking generation that finds inspiration in the tough everyday lives of the masses. In the opening moments of La familia, Pedro (intense newcomer Reggie Reyes), is but one of a group of loud 12-year-olds that are into roughhousing, calling each other names, talking about drugs and sex as if they were experts — and maybe some of them are — and wielding weapons, or at least toy versions of the same made out of wood and then covered in black paint.
