ANGELIKA’S NOTE

"A mesmerizing combination of opaque art-house cinema, personal reflection and class-based rural thriller," raves Salon. This striking semi-autobiographical exploration from Director Carlos Reygadas earned him the win for Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival. It follows Juan (Adolfo Jiménez Castro) and his family who move from the city to the countryside, and ultimately becomes an abstract drama and an exploration of darkness and light.

SYNOPSIS

Juan and his urban family live in the Mexican countryside, where they enjoy and suffer a world apart. And nobody knows if these two worlds are complementary or if they strive to eliminate one another.
