Exquisitely captured in natural light by the cinematographer Alexis Zab, Juan's journey is framed by sherbet-colored houses and lemon sidewalks, dipping palm fronds and a burnished, turquoise horizon. The director calls his style "artisan cinema"; I just call it dreamy.Full Review
With Lake Tahoe, Mexican filmmaker Fernando Eimbcke proves himself adept at turning a blank screen into a work of art.Full Review
Eimbcke's droll rhythms are reminiscent of early Jim Jarmusch and Aki Kaurismki--here stylistically appropriate for a film about social and emotional inertia.Full Review
Veteran Yucatan stage actor Hector Herrera is a delight as the suspicious old garageman who gives Juan an important lesson about letting go.Full Review
A surprisingly refreshing experience, especially in a season of infernal cinematic busyness.Full Review
