Venice International Film Critics Week.<\/p>\n

Motivation:<\/p>\n

El Pr\u00edncipe is a passionate portrait of life in a Chilean prison on the eve of Allende\u2019s rise to power in 1970. The savage brutality of prison life is contrasted by intensely emotional relationships between prisoners. Led by a towering Alfredo Castro, the excellent ensemble cast give stirring performances of a powerful script which conveys the paradoxical acceptance of gay attachments in prison at a time when it was not socially acceptable. Sebasti\u00e1n Mu\u00f1oz\u2019s directorial debut is a bold and erotically charged exploration of recent history which reveals an unexpected tenderness at its heart<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
