“”Ladron Que Roba A Ladron” represents a striking paradox ”” a foreign film that is not a foreign film.
It was filmed and produced in the United States, but its heart is in Latin America. And therein lies the beauty ”” and significance ”” of the film. And, yes, the controversy, for the Spanish script is to sure to enrage anti-immigrant forces who feel the Latino “invasion” is moving to a new battlefront, the silver screen.
The concept seems revolutionary ”” a foreign film conceived in America. But it is not a foreign film, not really, despite the English subtitles. By being fiercely Latino, the movie is also fiercely American, for a nation built by immigrants is now being rebuilt by immigrants.”
