Review of Separado!

Gruff Rhys of Super Furry Animals fame sets off to Patagonia in search of a singing Gaucho uncle. An engaging, eclectic, playful yet thoughtful Welsh musical documentary road movie that stops off in Brazil. Yes, it's a genre buster, mixing blood-spattered Western, horror, home movie, sci-fi, historical drama, with psychedelic touches and multiple split screen. Separado also touches on important colonial and cultural issues, along with the blurring of myth-making, fact and fiction. Like Gruff Rhys, something of a treasure.
