Too Late to Die Young (2018)★ 6.6/10

The director, who clearly loves life, shares a dreamlike memory of childhood in beautifully composed images. The opening and closing shots of a dog running through mist evoke a sense of freedom that lingers long after viewing.

The cinematography is surprisingly refined, presenting natural, vibrant scenes that resemble a series of moving Polaroids. The ensemble scenes further reveal director Dominga Sotomayor Castillo’s mastery of mise-en-scène and composition. The plot though, is very dull, but perhaps our youth often slip away in this languorous state.
