Rating: 8 out of 10
It’s difficult, if not nearly impossible, to walk into Adán Aliaga’s full length directorial debut without some consideration of the religious overtones that will undoubtedly appear in a film titled Estigmas (direct translation: stigmata) but Aliagan’s film isn’t concerned with the global apocalypse or the salvation of humanity but rather the exploration of one man’s life.
Bruno is a burly man with a soft demeanour. He’s kind, quiet and in trouble. An alcoholic, on the verge of being evicted and working for a man who takes advantage of his good will, he’s quickly being pushed into edges of life. He awakes one morning to find himself bleeding from wounds that have mysteriously appeared on his hands – stigmata. To Bruno, they are a curse, to his employer they are...

We first covered reported on this flick back in January of 2008, with the first stills dropping in October, and now we have the first teaser trailer. Directed by Adán Aliaga and adapted from a graphic novel by Lorenzo Mattotti and Claudio Piersanti about an alcoholic with tragic fate whose hands start to bleed, hence the Stigmata.
Estigmas is the story of Bruno, a rough man, strong and alcohol addicted. Bruno simply aims to be a normal person, but his fate is already written. One day he wakes up and his hands start bleeding. This is a trip to redemption through suffering, pain, and death. From now on he has to live with these new stigmas..

I've been following this one for quite a long time, back when we found out about the Pa flick Linko. Ignacio Benedeti is to produce this film as well with Adan Aliaga directing. This will be his second feature film, and it's based on a graphic novel by Lorenzo Mattotti and Claudio Piersanti about an alcoholic with tragic fate whose hands start to bleed, hence the Stigmata. The comic is in black and white and the imagery is very dark (see here). Furthermore, this story of the loneliness of a man marked by a tragic fate, trapped in a world of madness will be beautifully shot from what I can tell. Filming began October 13th and will run for two months. Check after the break for stills.
