Mil nubes de paz cercan el cielo, amor, jamás acabarás de ser amor (2003)
Beautiful and honest
Great, amazing movie. Gerardo , a gay teenager, walks Mexico City in search of a little bit of understanding out from people who have already forgotten how to be nice and human with the rest of their species, superb editing and an amazing direction makes this one a must see.
Amar te duele (2002)
Crap of the worst kind.
Does anyone actually WATCH this thing?, wells, Fernando Sariñana did something that was thought to be utterly impossible, he released two movies the same year in a motion picture industry that has been in crisis for most of its lifespan, but, once you see either one of them (the other release being "Ciudades Oscuras") you can easily get to the conclusion that Sariñana should have saved the problem........ Regarding "Amar te duele", it´s suposed to be a "urban" take on "Romeo and Juliet" on Mexico in the shopping mall arena. Think of it as the worst parts of "Mallrats" crossed with any mexican soap opera, it has the regular pack of stereotyped characters, lousy class-z acting, the directing work is practically non-existent, it shifts (inexplicable) from color to black and white (maybe in some sort of private homage to euro-cinema or God Knows why) there are some nude breast scenes which add absolutely nothing to the "story", character development (also something absent from the film) a retarded brother (which tries in a lame fashion to show us what a good brother the lead character is) some incredibly cheesy dialogue and a predictable death scene. As mentioned above, it is suposed to be based in "Romeo and Juliet" but can be easily seen that it was in de Bar Lhuzman version rather than Shakespeare. Mexican cinema is said to be in a rebirth process and the (mexican) media is making quite a hype. Watching this kind of movies really makes you wonder why the hell they are saying that!. Conclusion: AVOID! zero stars out of 5
Deseos (1977)
Hideous movie...mexican surrealism at its worst.
The inexplicable adventures of Timoteo Limon as he returns to his home town (that for some reason is some kind of post-apocalyptic barren land), Merceditas Toledo (a masturbating nun who wipes her ass over and over...) who takes a dump while timoteo´s father washes his body on a barrel.., Jesus is carried on his shroud trough some sort of cliff endless times. I could not figure out the rest of the simbolism it "transpires". In two words "mexican movie"
