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.
The nightclub, Babel, is more than it seems - a purgatory for wayward souls. Writer and director Gala del Sol examines afterlife myths, matching his outcast characters with the levels of purgatory from Dante Alighieri’s “Divine Comedy.”
A character named Dante (Felipe Aguilar Rodriguez) is an angel of Death, bartering for his immortal soul, or, more to the point, hoping to retire.
Rodriguez smolders on the screen.
