Brimming with innovation, Dominican filmmaker Yoel Morales’s hyperkinetic urban love story follows a hopeless romantic trying to make ends meet and kick his drug habit so he can marry the love of his life. Ricocheting between documentary and fiction, Bionico’s Bachata is a playful and original portrayal of addiction and the complex, cyclical relationship between self-destruction and self-preservation.
