What The People at Universal Is About

Diogenes Hernandez, a former sergeant, runs a precarious private detective agency called the Universal in central Bogota, operating out of the same flat he shares with his wife Fabiola. His nephew Clemente, who works there, is having an affair with her, not out of any wish to hurt his uncle but out of the emptiness the city presses on all of them. Felipe Aljure's 1991 film works with an energy unusual in Colombian cinema: fast cutting, black humour and a camera that never settles. Bogota is not decoration here but a place that dictates how people behave.
