Fibra Optica (1998)

Member Rating:

This second feature from writer-director Francisco Athie (Lolo) carries a stylish cyber-candescence throughout, courtesy of techno-twists added by production designer Chu Uroz (cables, surveillance cameras, TV monitors, and other electronic gear). Athie's tense politico-thriller begins with a trade-union chief's murder. His Brazilian mistress Claudia is framed, with bumbling Magana on as her defense lawyer and reporter Marco doing a journalistic investigation. As it becomes evident that both Magana and Marco are pawns and Claudia's innocent former lover is set up as the murderer, the web of intrigue expands. Shown at the 1998 Rotterdam Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

The power that Power has on "the little guy" is always interesting when done well. Fibra Optica is an important addition to the collection of films with that theme. The plot is not spoon-fed, so don't go to the fridge without pausing the DVD. Even while paying close attention, you should "let go" of having to always know what's going on and share the naivete of the young reporter. You'll have witnessed a murder that he hasn't, but he is asked to investigate an earlier murder. Just hang in there.
