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 in a Colombian nightclub.

The nightclub, Babel, is a purgatory for wayward souls, where 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 hoping to retire.

Rodriguez smolders on the screen.
