IMDB


Crab Trap from Oscar Ruiz Navia, is Colombia's official selection for the 83rd Academy Awards.  A visually stylish film set on the stunning Colombian seaside, the director often lets his shots remain focused on the background well after the actors have left the frame, to capture and include the scenery as a character.  The cast consisting mostly of non-actors from the local area contribute to the naturalistic mood of the film.
