El Cordero (Juan Francisco Olea; Chile, 2014)

Domingo is a devoted family man and Christian missionary gliding through a dutifully modest if unexceptional life. When he accidentally kills someone, he experiences a moral crisis—not because of the fatal shooting, but because he feels no guilt for it. Shot through with a subtle, sardonic humor and beautifully acted, this exceptional feature debut is an engrossing dramatic thriller reverberating with deeper questions about our innermost natures and our ties to one another.
