Reporter Blanca is working on a piece about violence while being stalked by a psychopath herself. Act of Violence in a Young Journalist is a film maudit, a cursed movie whose odd legacy has been kept alive and kicking by a mere handful of Uruguayan cult-movie enthusiasts. The movie’s origins are virtually unknown, its aftermath secured by its accident-packed yet not entirely haphazard combination of telenovela elements and spurts of violence packaged in a highly erratic narrative. A cinematic event!
Manuel Lamas
Lamas, Manuel has long been shrouded in mystery. He virtually disappeared from the face of the earth after making Act of Violence in a Young Journalist, which has developed a cult following in his native Uruguay. People only found out much later that he had died in 2004, aged 69, and that he had made a second feature in the 1990s, La reina de la noche.
