Kolorete director Ruelo Lozendo
by Clifford Hilo
Kolorete has politics, music, and the living dead.In other words, it's just another zombie flick. Director Ruelo Lozendo explains.
Pedro Costa once remarked that a filmmaker needs to be young and old at the same time so that one might have both the opposing qualities of wild impulse and rational experience.
The film Kolorete makes one think of the director as a veteran experimenter, a director certain and calm in his choices as a result of years and years of attention and work. One thinks of the elderly Jean Marie Straub with Kolorete, as if he were the one poised over the editing table with his tousled, blanche white hair and a cigar angrily chewed in the side of his mouth.
Then it was quite the surprise to see the director, Ruelo Lozendo, after the screening of Kolorete, because out walked a young man who appeared no older than twenty (he's actually 32). Here is the paradox of the man who is young and mature at the same time -- so mature in his cinema that he almost seems super-aged. He spoke softly to the audience in his demure way about Kolorete. And one must really admire the audacity of his modesty, because here is a filmmaker whose humility belies the assuredness of his work. Watch next for where Ruelo Lozendo will go, because there is a great deal of future left for this old man.
