Death in the Andes
A great set of vignettes sorry about the plot.
I liked the death of Senora Harcourt, and the story of the mute Pedrito Tinoco. It gets the horror of the Peruvian dirty war, against Sendero across well. Poor Pedrito is tortured and the attack on the small town, in which Sendero force people at gunpoint to stone their neighbours
That said it is full of cliche, the Fat mob boss beating up the prostitute and the civil guard shooting them. The story of the central character bores me.
It was good, to get a glimpse of Peru, that some of my friends and neighbours new. Radio Piura and roadblocks, lighting kerosene The memory of the long legged dancer in a forgotten movie
The less said about the naked ladies and eternal hard on's plots the better
