i go into this film without realize it be by carlos r. i would not explain the storyline a you may have read it already by now i will however try to rationalize why it may be love or hat . this artistic film be not mean for the regular mass of people that much be clear . it however go a step ahead by try to create a niche group amongst the sophisticated critic or viewer a well . it a short story shot in exaggerated long moment of nothingness . you will be view the ( deliberately ) expressionless actor look into space like zombie in addition to the mexican landscape and road and people and road and sun rising and ( do i mention road . ) etc with no coherence . it be during these long shot and i realize this film be reminiscent of another rather boring mexican film i have once lose 2 hour of my life to . it wasn not until the much talk about real life people sex scene that i pause and check and find it be indeed a film by carlos reygadas . at least he have succeed in imprint his style even on normal audience . once a director do it ( ie geriatrics sex in japon ) in a movie and it consider artistic by the niche critic but to do something like that again in another gloom of a film . i call it a disturb fetish cry out for medium attention . let me get this straight the film be not about sex primarily it also be suppose to be about human dilemma of morality and class divide etc . however we never get to see it and comprehend it or actually feel for it . it a film which will fulfill those niche audience and allow them that seat of authority which they can have and enjoy . p . this film will be enjoyable in 4x fast forward .
