Fernando Frías de la Parra Turns Up the Volume on Kolombiano Culture in ‘I’m No Longer Here’
James Linhardt “Ya No Estoy Aquí (I’m No Longer Here),” the third feature from Mexican director Fernando Frías de la Parra, paints a stirringly cinematic portrait of cultural dislocation and youthful rebellion. It’s an epic drama built upon an authentic, documentary-style depiction of Monterrey, Mexico’s Kolombiano subculture, focused on a youth gang bonded together not by violence, but by music.
