Mexico
★ 6.7 editorial score
Mexican cinema arrived on the world stage with this: Inarritu's first film braids three Mexico City lives around a single car crash and refuses to soften any of them.
“Gonzalez Inarritu brings you so far inside the maelstrom of Mexico City that the city itself becomes a seething central character and the source of a million miseries. The passion of those miseries gives the film its horrible grandeur...Mexico has produced some extraordinary film artists in the past decade, but Gonzalez Inarritu is, to my knowledge, the first to really break out into the streets and attempt an epic vision.”
