Suicide looks good for fed-up middle-aged Mexico
City painter Alejandro Ferretis. But when he lodges with generous,
understanding old lady agdalena Flores in the remote village he's
decided will be his last stop, he finds.... Director Reygadas' first
feature is strikingly Tartovskyan, shot in cinemascope in long, slow
takes, with sinuous camera movements, all without artificial light,
with a non-professional cast, and with a "final shot that could
itself be considered among the wonders of creation." -J. Hoberman,
Village Voice. Grand Prize, Bratislava; Best Actor, Buenos Aires;
Golden Camera, Cannes; Audience Choice, Stockholm; Best Director,
Thessaloniki Festival.
Alejandro Ferretis, el hastiado pintor de media
edad de la Ciudad de M�xico, considera el suicidio como una buena
posibilidad. Pero cuando se aloja con la generosa y comprensiva
anciana Magdalena Flores en el pueblo remoto que ser� su �ltima
parada, encuentra que .... La primera realizaci�n del director
Raygadas es decididamente Tartovskyana, filmada en cinemascope, en
tomas largas y lentas, con sinuosos movimientos de la c�mara, sin
luz artificial, con un elenco no profesional y con una "escena final
que podr�a ser considerada entre las maravillas de la creaci�n",
seg�n J. Hoberman del Village Voice. Gran Premio de Bratislava;
Mejor Actor, Buenos Aires; Golden Camera, Cannes; Selecci�n de la
Audiencia, Estocolmo; Mejor Director, Festival de Tesal�nica.
