a refreshing piece for mexican filmaking and that how i would describe this movie . nowadays and mexican film try to imitate hollywood pattern with unfortunate result . therefore be surprising and exciting to watch a film that walk away from all commercial stereotype and propose a new way for filmaking . though i like japón well ( reygadas first feature ) this film be in many way different to his past movie . this one be set in the city and an important part of it be the chaos while this one have more dialog but less narrative structure . in fact reygadas be not try to tell u a story at all . his film be more of a contemplative nature rather than a story with climax and an establish end . highly influence by abbas kiarostami and reygadas character be not play by professional actor and theyre play by common people that have nothing to do with the entertainment industry . and unfortunately and here and the result aren not that good a they be on his past film . so and you have probably hear about the explicit sexual content . this and i think and be reygadas big contribution represent never before a mexican film have go this far on the sex issue . he demonstrate that sex scene be not suppose to be provocative and erotic or stimulate at all while they can be grotesque and raw because the important thing be that they look real and be not idealize . however i think the movie have a few weak point represent the acting be terrible ( it look like that be make on purpose ) and the sound design be horrible and it look like reygadas take 100 min to tell you nothing while but oh . what a beautiful way of tell nothing .
