Beso de Bala: De la Texera's Next Step

FILM / PROJECTS
From the Brazilian desert to political suspense in Chile

Luis Trelles' column reveals that the untiring Diego de la Texera already has his next cinematic target defined: 'Beso de Bala'. After the success and complexity of 'Meteoro', the filmmaker turns to a narrative that blends romance and political intrigue during one of the most turbulent periods in South American history.

The film 'Beso de Bala' follows the journey of a detective who finds himself entangled in a dangerous plot during the military coup in Chile. The story, described as a thriller with a strong emotional core, maintains De la Texera's trademark: a commitment to the social and political reality of Latin America without losing narrative momentum.

The production, once again in partnership with Maria Dulce Saldanha, demonstrates the producer's ability to manage large-scale international projects. Diego mentions that the experience gained from 'Meteoro' served as the logistical foundation for this new challenge, which promises to be an even more ambitious co-production.

For De la Texera, 'Beso de Bala' is the natural continuation of his cinema of resistance. While in 'Meteoro' we explored utopia, in this new project we dive into the shadows of power and the strength of affections that survive oppression, reaffirming his role as one of the region's most vital filmmakers.
