A prismatic dramatic investigation of the mysterious, officially unsolved murder of Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca, told through the eyes of an idealistic Puerto Rican journalist who vows--almost twenty years after the fact--to return to Spain and find out the truth. But he finds a culture still ashamed in its participation in fascism and afraid of the power of art. Based on the biographies "The Assasination of Federico Garcia Lorca" and "Federico Garcia Lorca: A Life," both by Ian Gibson. [More]

The only thing to be said for The Disappearance of Garcia Lorca is that it features some excellent performances by the most accomplished Latino actors working in film today.

The script is alive with vivid imagery when reading directly from Lorca's poetry. In contrast, the rest of the flat dialog has little resonance.
