What Do You Think?

The Paul Leduc short film What Do You Think? asks that musical question against a backdrop of mid-’80s Mexican rock and roll. It almost wordlessly follows varying groups of nameless individuals through a few days of entrenched poverty so all-encompassing that if they see it as a problem they can hardly see a way out. Macho bullying, scarce low-wage jobs, and squalor are accepted with resignation as a way of life. The younger ones sense something is wrong as their eyes are slowly opened by a groundswell of rock and roll, but examine poor solutions in an effort to escape. —dvdtalk.com
