Alberto Rodriguez' film 'Marshland' tells the story of a grizzly murder in a remote deltaic region shortly after the fall of Franco. With its combination of atmospheric setting, an insular community, and post-fascist politics, it should be gripping. But it's a low-budget and (mostly) low-key affair, the exposition of the plot isn't always crystal clear and the integration of the political backstory with the foreground plot is underdeveloped. I've seen worse films, but I was hoping for more here, and didn't find it.
