Monos
NO ADULTS. NO RULES. NO WAY OUT.
High in a remote mountain outpost, a group of teenage soldiers guard a hostage while awaiting orders from an unseen authority. As isolation, paranoia, and power struggles take hold, discipline collapses—and play turns into something far more dangerous.
Drawing comparisons to "Lord of the Flies" and "Apocalypse Now," this primal, visually overwhelming film won the World Cinema Dramatic Special Jury Award at Sundance and Best Film at the BFI London Film Festival, and served as Colombia's official Academy Award submission. The fifteenth highest-rated international films of 2019 on Letterboxd, and in the top fifty overall for the year.
Language: English and Spanish, with English subtitles.
