Emboldened by the power and position granted by existing societal conventions, patriarchy displays its most vulgar face when it tries to wrest control by violating the basic rights of others—something that can leave deep wounds that not even time can heal. Director Juan Miguel del Castillo, with his second cinematic venture “Unfinished Affairs,” adapted from the novel of the same name written by Benito Olmo, shows once again that his grounded narratives will not allow an easy escape from the social problems he chooses to highlight through his movies. Starring the reliable Fred Tatien and Natalia de Molina (collaborating with the director once again) as leads, the crime noir examines the horror of patriarchal violence and the far-reaching effects of it on the people caught in its loop.
