Los Nuevos (1973)

Overview

Los Nuevos was the only feature film directed by Paul Delfín. It was based on a story by the writer and journalist Edgardo Pérez Llina, who published articles on cinema in the Lima newspaper Correo with some consistency during the 1960s. Los Nuevos aimed to offer a chronicle of youthful anxieties at the beginning of the 1970s. All the topics of sexual awakening and "political commitment," of generational rebellion, protest against the "system," and the general "dissent" as the order of the day, were reviewed in an erratic plot, filmed in imperfect black and white.
