Synopsis

Alejandro Landes' third feature, is a survivalist saga set on a remote mountain in Latin America. The film tracks a young group of soldiers and rebels – bearing names like Rambo, Smurf, Bigfoot, Wolf and Boom-Boom – who keep watch over an American hostage, Doctora The teenage commandos perform military training exercises by day and indulge in youthful hedonism by night, an unconventional family bound together under a shadowy force known only as The Organization. After an ambush drives the squadron into the jungle, both the mission and the intricate bonds between the group begin to disintegrate.

Critics

open_quote An experience at once jagged and lyrical, brutal and beautiful, angry and abstract, scattered and wholly singular. close_quote Variety


open_quote It is alternately sensuous and scary, thrilling and appalling, with a dark heart of horror at its core. close_quote Mark Kermode, Observer


open_quote Monos is one of the year's most extraordinary films. Its feverish visuals rupture any sense of surface realism, creating a disarming, almost surrealist universe where anarchy takes hold. close_quote Maria M. Delgado, Sight And Sound
