Duck Season (Temporada de patos) is a wonderfully observed coming of age comedy by first time Mexican director Fernando Eimbcke, which delves into the restless energy of adolescence.

I was rewatching this movie expecting it to suck. I ended up appreciating it even more. I'm exited about this Eimbcke guy.

Great and surprising film about teenagers, boredom and a painting of ducks. The image is splendid and the story is very cleverly written. The breath of this film is quite perfect.
