Featured review
Started slow...
I was thinking when this film began that it was really dragging. Long, lingering scenes of ...well, nothing. The story is about two young men in Mexico City on the verge of an apocalypse. But the pace of the film certainly didn't have any sense of immediacy.
But once the two friends meet up, the movie picks up.
It's interesting that people are mostly so calm about the impending apocalypse, but we are informed that not everyone is quite so calm. And we see some hints that some people leaving the city with a sense of urgency. But the film eschews the usual panic,immoral and destructive behavior that usually precedes the end of the world on film - which was a refreshing way to see it.
The actors playing the friends are very good, and convey a close, gentle friendship. They are at an age of sexual exploration, and talk about their experiences, and what they haven't experienced. Some of the action is portrayed in flashbacks of their experiences. Very nicely done.
One of the guys is gay, and seeks an experience with someone he trusts, which is a central theme in the film.
Once the story gets rolling, it moves at a nice pace, and is quite engrossing.
There are interesting questions swirling in my head as I watched, that were left unanswered - like where their parents are. I actually liked that those mysteries were not neatly tied up in the plot.
During the film we hear occasional radio broadcasts, which I think are especially interesting and positive, considering the precarious state of the planet and of mankind.
Spanish language with English subtitles. And you even have time to read them, and still watch the actors!
