Para recibir el canto de los pájaros

«Jorge Sanjinés, one of the most uncompromising film-makers of this era, borrows from and innovates in the old structure of the 'film within a film' for more dignified (and more effective) goals and creates a microcosm that represents the fundamental contradictions in Bolivian society. He sees that film and film-makers should account for their amazing pretentiousness and the relativity of their moral values. The film is not without humour, for instance the sublime scene when the sound man is unable to record the 'holy chant' of the birds that inspires the Indian musicians. Sanjinés manages to identify with the vision of the Indians.» Rotterdam Film Festival
