_Monos_ is like falling in love with a crazy person and all of the intensity, beauty and madness that goes with it. While this political allegory is so far over everyone's heads the audience all had noise bleeds (even the title is ephemeral, the New York Times translates it as 'Monkeys' and the Guardian as 'Alone') this film is so gorgeous inside and out that it's easy to overlook it's obscurity.

Imagine the lords of the flies as child soldiers guarding a hostage and you have the basic story of _Monos_. Fortunately for director Alejandro Landes (and brilliant cinematographer Jasper Wolf) the child actors are as driven as the roles they play. Like your mad lover, you won't know what _Monos_ is talking about but that won't stop you from falling for it hard.
