Synopsis
Paralyzed from the waist down by a stray police bullet, the title character in Alejandro Landes’s film spends his days selling minutes on his cell phone, flirting with his comely neighbor— and secretly plotting his revenge. Landes worked on the film for five years, creating a tale that joins the most intimate details of Porfirio’s day-to-day life with a recreation of his attempt to hijack an airplane

Limited Releases: Glimpse Inside the Limited Releases
February 8th, 2013
While there are a number of diverse limited releases this week, only two of them are earning overwhelmingly positive reviews. Those two are Lore and Caesar Must Die. Neither has a real shot at mainstream success, as foreign language films and documentaries rarely expand significantly. Hopefully they will at least find a receptive audience in the art house circuit.
