Although filmed and conceived during the same stay in Lima (1975) as ’Rose de Lima’, ’Suite’ is a completely different aesthetic proposal. A portrait of Lima’s street mechanics, the poorness and roughness of its black and white image, accentuated by Jacques Lederlin’s music, almost carries a neo-realistic touch. De La Casinière offers us images of an industrial world, cruel and merciless, far away from the exotic and colourful stereotypes South America is usually associated with.
