Watch This Year’s Oscar-Nominated Latin American Films at a Theater Right Now

Yes, we know it’s frustrating that at Remezcla we’re constantly gushing about all the fantastic films that are being made in Latin America, and all you wanna do is see them on the big screen. But, you can’t. Sadly most films from Latin America never make it to theaters in the US. Well, we’ve got great news for you: there are four features and a short playing in theaters across the country this week. A sixth film, Embrace of the Serpent opens next Wednesday (Feb 17) in New York and on Friday (Feb 19) in Los Angeles. And did we mention that three of these films got Oscar nominations? Yeah…no big deal. Hailing from Chile, Colombia, Brazil, and Mexico, you can now fully immerse yourself in the drama and action of Latin American cinema the way a true film nerd should: sitting in dark room staring at a big screen.
