Director & Producer Carlos Reygadas, born October 10, 1971, from Mexico City, has strung together a very particular body of work. Particularly ingenious, remarkably humane, expressly philosophic, artful. His pictures are framed within a magically real world of desires, bodies, ethics, and consequence.
Regadas comments, "After I make a film I psychoanalyze myself retroactively so that I can give explanations to journalists and film people. But I don't believe in those explanations myself."
With his first feature, Japón, Reygadas has attempted nothing less than a justified return to the art film. He works without, and beyond, the narrative conventions of most contemporary “independent” cinema. Keen and unpredictable, Reygadas’ films contain some of the most shocking, fascinating and deliriously beautiful imagery seen on screen.
