La desazón suprema: Retrato de Fernando Vallejo

La Desazón Suprema: Retrato incesante de Fernando Vallejo is a feature-length documentary about this controversial Colombian writer who lives in Mexico. Despite having directed three movies and published five autobiographies, Fernando Vallejo was practically unknown until the publication and later film adaptation of Our Lady of the Assassins, directed by Barbet Schroeder. By deciding to speak in the first person, without pretence, about his likes and dislikes, Vallejo breaks with an ingrained literary tradition: that of the omniscient narrator who sees and knows all. The documentary, through a tireless depiction, not only covers his vast literary work, but also his many interests: film, music, grammar, science, and politics. (Morelia International Film Festival)
