Mancora

There’s something about the road trip in Latin American cinema which invites a) increasingly complicated sexual misadventures and b) disaster. The devastatingly attractive protagonists of the Spanish/Peruvian co-production Mancora engage enthusiastically in the former while blundering blindly towards the latter. It’s a hell of a ride – uninhibited, hedonistic, abandoned and desperately sexy. This level of drug-addled bad-behaviour can only end in tears – or in bed.
