Financing

At the end of July 2015, the film received an economic stimulus of 550,000 soles from the Directorate of Audiovisual, Phonography and New Media delivered by the Ministry of Culture of Peru to start its development phase.[9] On 20 November 2018, it received an economic boost from Ibermedia[10] and a short time it received 4,000 euros after winning the Best Pitch award at the 4th Ventana del Cine Madrileño to start production.[11] [12]

Filming

Principal photography lasted 5 weeks in Lima District, Surco, Miraflores and Barranco, Peru in 2019.[13]

Release

The Erection of Toribio Bardelli had its world premiere on 15 August 2023 as part of the Fiction competition at the 27th Lima Film Festival. It was released theatrically in Peru on 26 October 2023.[14]

Reception

Critical reception

Eddson Esquives from La Cinestación rated the film 6 out of 10, noting that "it's a story that loses strength as it progresses," expressing that supporting characters didn't contribute significantly to the protagonist's development, and indicating the shallow approach to addressing the grief the family is going through, although he highlights the acting capacity of Gustavo Bueno, Gisela Ponce de León and Rodrigo Sánchez.[15]

Sandro Mairata of La República, mentioned that the film should not have been selected for its competition within the framework of the 27th Lima Film Festival, pointing out technical errors, poor direction of actors, and a script that seems not to be fully developed.[16]

In August 2023, the Ministry of Culture of Peru selected The Erection of Toribio Bardelli in their shortlist for their submission to the 96th Academy Awards for Best International Feature Film alongside Queens Without a Crown and How to Deal With a Heartbreak.[17] The Erection of Toribio Bardelli ultimately was the official submission for the category.
