Director Felipe Gálvez in his debut feature, The Settlers (Los Colonos) has made a brutal, breathtaking and bold Chilean western film that not only enlightens but keeps the audience engaged till the credits roll. Filmed with a 1.50:1 aspect ratio, the director wants us to focus on the characters rather than get distracted by the stunning landscapes Chile is known for. The colors of this film are very stark and at times over-saturated giving out a retro style that fits well with a film in the Western genre. Most Westerns are made with a story based in the United States but this one takes place in Chile which adds a unique feel when watching the film as it is different from the typical surroundings one would expect from an American western film. The film is not made on a huge scale but that does not deter it from being anything short of an epic.
