Life, Death and Drag: a review of “Rains Over Babel”
When Jacob (William Hurtado), a pastor’s son, prepares for his drag debut, he faces consequences greater than he imagined in “Rains Over Babel,” a sultry, sexy, and stylish film about an assortment of misfits wasting time in a Colombian nightclub that is more than it seems.
The titular Babel isn’t your average hang; it’s a purgatory for wayward souls. Gala del Sol, writer and director, examines afterlife myths, matching his outcast characters with the levels of purgatory from Dante Alighieri’s “Divine Comedy.”
There is even a character named Dante (Felipe Aguilar Rodriguez), but he’s more of an angel of Death bartering for his immortal soul, or, more to the point, hoping to retire.
Rodriguez smolders on the screen.
