You could be forgiven for assuming that we’re at the point where there isn’t much that can be done with the superhero concept in terms of bringing something people haven’t seen before….
Shot in rich monochromatic tones, and inspired by a true story, Melina León’s Song Without A Name is a captivating portrayal of a young woman searching for the truth in this snapshot of 1980’s Peru that will leave you breathless.
