Ciro Guerra’s 2015 film Embrace of the Serpent is one of the recent success stories of the Director’s Fortnight sidebar at the Cannes. Birds of Passage is co-directed by Cristina Gallego, who produced Serpent and is given story credit here. Guerra and Gallego wisely don’t get into too much of the production or distribution side of the drug business. Rapayet and Zaida have a king-size bed but sleep in a hammock off to the side. If Guerra and Gallego want to continue with this point of view, we should all welcome it.
