Like the wounded country in which it sits, the eponymous guesthouse of La Sirga, Colombian writer/director William Vega’s debut feature, is a collapsing wreck desperately held together by the lingering faith of a precious few. A haunting glimpse through thick fog of a corpse impaled on a pike is the harrowing introduction to the war-torn setting from which nineteen year-old protagonist Flora escapes to her uncle’s inn, where he allows her to aid in its perpetual repair. If the allegory seems simple, it’s only in retrospect; Vega’s entrancing cinematography, favouring long takes graced with contemplative silence, finds sparse beauty in a world evidently racked with the ugliness of chaos. Alternating between candlelit scenes in the dead of night and alluring expeditions into the mist that lays atop the great lake by which the inn sits, Vega frames Floralba Achicanoy’s formidable lead performance in a disquieting aura of impending doom, culminating in the most devastating conclusion.
