Drama. Fantasy In the nineteenth century, a French adventurer sets off to establish a kingdom in the inhospitable South of Chile, uniting the feared Mapuche under him. The response of the Chilean army is devastating. Rey is both an intricately designed adventure film as well as powerful textural experiment.

	Media	Author	Review
		Jay Weissberg Variety	"Atallah crafts a striking experimental feature (...) Atallah’s singular vision forms one of the more accessible and enjoyable avant-garde features of recent years."
		Cath Clarke The Guardian	"'Rey' is a weird and sometimes wonderful film, featuring moments of piercing, memorable strangeness (...) It could as easily be screened in a gallery (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Slant	"One of the most visually disruptive and inventive Chilean films in recent memory"
