Basada en un caso muy dramático
Un colombiano que cometió un crimen terrible: asesinó un buen número de personas en un restaurante de Bogotá. La película cuenta la historia y sitúa al espectador en el drama del protagonista.

Well-made latin american film
There are times when you are surprised by a film you had no previous information about. Take this Colombian film "Satanas", which at first I thought was going to be a horror film due to it's title. However, title aside, this is anything but a horror film.Inspired by a real event that took place in Bogota, the capital of Colombia, this film starts out by following the lives of three different characters. One is a priest who's having doubts about his faith, the other is an army veteran who gives private lessons of English, as he fought for the US army, and the third is a girl trying to make ends meet by working in a public marketplace in the city and who takes a chance by following two dubious males who promise her a way out of her dead-end job. At the beginning I kept wondering where was this film going, and what the relation between its three distinct characters was all about. But as you follow the film, you're taken through some paths that would've better been left alone...As this film is from Colombia, I was very wary, as most films coming from there are usually comedies, and very badly made at that. But all together, this is an extremely well made film. The actors are really good, especially Mexican actor Damian Alcazar, who nails his part so perfectly, it took me a while to figure out that he wasn't Colombian at all. Damian Alcazar is one of the few actors I know who can actually play a part using only his face, as you can read every thought that passes through his mind, just by looking at him. What a performance! The film is extremely well shot and kudos also to the director, who though this is his first film, shoots in a classic way, that is to say, no shaky, hand-held camera movements and jerky cuts every three seconds. This is closer to Hitchcock than to Michael Bay, and thank god for that! My only minor complaint, is that all the women in this film look more like models than real people, but then again, a little beauty in such a bleak and harrowing story is more than welcome in the end...All in all, a very pleasant surprise, though the film is tough to look at certain times due to it's violence (though most of it is kept off-camera, which can be even more grim, come to think of it), but a real winner nevertheless. If Colombians keep making films like this, they'll soon be at every film festival in the world. Check it out!Highly recommended!

I thought this film was very good. I thought it was good how the three ...
I thought this film was very good. I thought it was good how the three individual stories were interconnected together and based on a true story.
