 Colombia's Oscar hope: biopic of a drug lord | csmonitor.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
'El Rey" is probably the only film among the 50 in the running for this year's foreign-language Academy Award that had its reels searched for cocaine as they left Bogotá's El Dorado airport, en route to France, where the film was edited.
Still, the search had its built-in irony, considering that "El Rey" ("The King") is a fictionalized account of Jaime Caicedo, Colombia's largely unknown first cocaine drug lord, a violent but Robin Hood-type figure who rose to power during the 1970s in Cali, Colombia's third-largest city.
Juan Carlos Vallejo, a former professor of international human rights law in Colombia, believes that Dorado's film not only captures the cultural touchstones of Cali's ambience in the 1970s but also avoids cops-and-robbers stereotypes that Hollywood movies - such as "Collateral Damage" with Arnold Schwarzenegger - have peddled.
