This is a totally bizarre film about a small town in rural Peru where Christianity has devolved into a strange evil cult. It seems that once a year, from Good Friday until Easter morning, the assumption is that God is dead and there is no such thing as sin or evil So, every year at this time the good people of this town act like pigs. This story revolves around a young lady oddly named "Madeinusa" and the father that can't wait to have sex with her during this three day period when there is no God and sin can run rampant.
Sounds pretty charming, huh? This film is currently available on DVD from the Film Movement Series. I have a membership and have seen many of their international films and I have to say that MADEINUSA is by far the worst film I have seen from this organization. It seemed very cruel and nihilistic--the sort of film that is truly a chore to finish watching. If you LIKE your films to be miserable and wretched, then this movie is for you. The film abounds with dead rats, bodily fluids and all around nastiness and life is just too short for this sort of mess.
