The shocking true story behind one of Guatemalas most harrowing tragedies is the premise behind writer/director Jayro Bustamantes (La Llorona) mesmerizing dark fantasy film, Rita. This is an unforgettable film experience, one with just as many swashes of magical mysticism as there is gritty realism. Its not often easy to watch, and much like a modern art piece, it asks the audience to observe it and ponder it after first viewing. Its a stunning piece of cinema that stays with you long after everything fades to black.
