Loco Fever- Andres Wood
Andres Wood's colorful film is a funny and committed portrait of a village at the end
of the world. The Chilean coastal village of Puerto Loco is turned upside down when two swindlers, Canuto and Jorge, pose as representatives of a Japanese company looking to buy up the villages' entire catch of loco (abalone). Loco is the endangered shellfish legendary for its aphrodisiac qualities, and fisherman are only permitted a few days of the year to catch it. News of quick money has everyone from visiting prostitutes to local priests in a frenzy to cash in on the commerce and the normally sleepy town is soon engulfed with equal measures of lust, greed and intrigue. In a comic and moving way, Wood sketches the universal problems of the local people when the outside world invades. (97 mins.) Print courtesy of Andres Wood.
