A searing, horrifying, at times starkly beautiful
documentary ode to the netherworlds surrounding the U.S.-Mexico barrier,
Rodrigo Reyes’ “Purgatorio: A Journey Into the Heart of the Border” often feels
cruelly titled. While Dante’s pilgrims endured the hardships of purgatory
secure in the knowledge they’d eventually make it to paradise, Reyes’ subjects
know no such certainty. Brilliantly photographed yet frequently difficult to
look at, this is a strikingly assured work deserving of future festival play,
offering an impressionistic ground-level view of the simmering humanitarian
crisis occurring just outside, and often within, American borders.
