Summary:
Araya lacks a conventional narrative. It is not a documentary. It is not a fictional film. It is a poetic suite that the director sculpts into a love story for a place, a culture and a time that has since been forever lost. (Milestone Films)

100It's a strange, one-of-a-kind film that was to be Benacarraf's only full-length feature.
-
80The 1959 film's style is dated, but it is visually glorious and tells a fascinating story.
-
80The movie’s b&w images of craggy landscapes and shirtless young men have never looked more vibrant.
-
Whatever visual poetry the film possesses is overwhelmed by the thuddingly bad and nearly ceaseless narration, written by Ms. Benacerraf and Pierre Seghers.
