Film Forum: Bad Lucky Goat (2017)
Having not seen this comedy-drama from Colombia, it’s impossible for me to personally vouch for its quality, other than to say that if it screens as part of Ralph DeLauro’s Film Forum, chances are it is worth your time. According to the liner notes provided, bad karma reins supreme when a bickering brother and sister, driving along in their father’s truck, accidentally commit vehicular goat-slaughter on the bearded billy that crosses their path. In summation, “Their journey of reconciliation is colorfully depicted in this whimsically surreal odyssey.” By all accounts (aka the three reviews I read), this appears to be an overall favorable experience. Admission is free. If you don’t like it, the cost of your ticket will be cheerfully refunded. Sponsored by the Friends of the Chula Vista Library and a Chula Vista Visual and Performing Arts Grant.
