"No one on this earth has the luxury of a simple life..."
Writer/director/producer Nicole Elmer, also a talented fiction writer and musician, delivers a beautifully lensed drama that's a bit outside the typical horror or psychological drama. In The Shadow, set in modern day Puerto Rico, brings us Diego, an unwilling healer, known in his coastal community to have the very real power to negotiate with Death that everyone wishes for, prays for, when faced with tragedy. It's a power that comes with a price. When an American documentary filmmaker, Hilary, crosses into Diego's world, the narrative comes alive as the two reveal just how complex their lives are. Unlike the trend in many depictions of female characters in horror or dramas, Elmer imbues Hilary with agency; In The Shadow is just as much about the complexity buried deep within the lives of every person walking the face of the earth as it is about the surface narrative of conflict between Diego and Hilary. Elmer and her collaborators on In The Shadow balance gender politics, cultural disconnects, and interpersonal magnetism into a visual story that resonates.
