\"\"<\/a>Sin Nombre<\/a><\/strong> (Revolver) is a highly impressive drama about immigrants trying to reach the US (the title is Spanish for \u201cwithout name\u201d) directed by Cary Fukunaga<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Seeking the promise of America, a young Honduran woman, Sayra (Paulina Gaitan<\/a>), joins her father and uncle on an odyssey to cross the gauntlet of the Latin American countryside en route to the United States.<\/p>\n

Along the way she crosses paths with a teenaged Mexican gang member, El Casper (Edgar Flores<\/a>), who is manoeuvring to outrun his violent past and elude his unforgiving former associates.<\/p>\n

A highly accomplished debut feature, it has some fine performances and has a compelling sense of realism which may have been a result of the director’s extensive research, which involved travelling with immigrants on trains in Central America.<\/p>\n

Although the story treads a well worn path, both literally and figuratively, it manages to steer well clear of clich\u00e9 and tedium thanks to the skill and attention to detail behind the camera.<\/p>\n

Cinematographer Adriano Goldman<\/a> gives the film a remarkable look, blending the rugged landscapes and harsh urban environments with considerable grace and panache, fully deserving of its awards at Sundance last January<\/a>.<\/p>\n
