Gorgeous Mexican film on art, desire and entrapment, 22 February 2007

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

I saw this beautiful film at the Chicago Film festival and I highly, highly recommend it. First off, it is a deeply moving story that revolves around two characters in a small Mexican town: Mei - a young girl who works as a maid in a brothel - and Homero - a painter losing his sight who can only see the color red for a few more weeks before he is about to go completely blind. The story focuses on the contingency and chance crossings of their paths before they actually meet in the final scene, which is ABSOLUTELY brilliant. But more importantly, the movie's exploration of the two characters' subjective, fantasy relations to an impending, terrifying entrapment (blindness and servitude respectively) is unparalleled in Mexican cinema. Second, the movie is visually lush and gorgeous and is a constant delight to watch. But perhaps most importantly, and of special significance to anyone used to watching Mexican cinema over the past decades, Arriaga's movie is, I would say, the ONLY mature Mexican cinematographic inquiry into the relation between art and sexuality I have seen over the past years. It sheds the crass sexual clichés to which Mexican audiences have become accustomed, and takes an honest, compassionate look at the nature of desire - particularly, and uniquely, the growing feminine sexuality of the adolescent Mei as she comes to terms with her own desires, surrounded by a world where sex seems to be some kind of ritualized violence. Besides the many other things that make this film a profound pleasure to watch, for this alone, as a Mexican moviegoer, one gives thanks.
