On November 6th, 1985, a left-wing guerrilla group called Movimiento 19 de Abril (M-19, for short) stormed the Palace of Justice in Bogotá, Colombia. The intent was to hold the Justices of the Supreme Court hostage and force a trial against President Belisario Betancur. What happened instead was one of the deadliest attacks in Colombia’s ongoing war with leftist rebels. Tomás Corredor’s Noviembre re-enacts this event, but rather than a large-scale sweeping action film that depicts all sides, it focuses on a single microcosm of the event: several rebels holding a dozen or so hostages in a single bathroom, while the assault rages around them.
