| Aristotle and Dante |
Adapted from Benjamin Alire Sáenz’s YA novel. Two Mexican American teenage boys growing up in El Paso become close friends, building an intense bond between them, but then Dante’s family leaves for a year in Chicago. Will their relationship survive the separation? It’s a beautiful story, with beautiful actors who are perfect for their roles. There is one scene of graphic violence, but it is related to the plot. Definitely a MUST SEE.
The novel has a sequel, Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World. Here’s hoping that this film makes a big enough splash to carry on to the sequel.
