Even the Rain

A movie about making a movie, this film touches on the concept of what happens when art imitates life, and vice versa.  Gael Garcia Bernal stars as a director working to create a film about Christopher Columbus, shooting in Bolivia against the backdrop of an uprising over the privatization of water.  If anything I thought this film could have gone deeper into its controversy, but as it stands it is a poignant reflection on a subject many people overlook.  And as a filmmaker it makes me wonder, what would I have done?
