Ruben Marrufo's rating of the film Killing Strangers

I watched this in Cineteca Nacional in Mexico City. This piece has two narratives, one is of actors in an audition being directed by means of a earphone. They director tells them what to say and act. the other is of 3 wanderers in different lanscapes. My problem with it is that it didnt felt like a movie to watched at a theater, it would be a great way to close a show at a gallery. :)

Sin título.'s rating of the film Killing Strangers
Sin título.

Paratextualidad que escenifica dos planos importantes de las ideas sobre la revolución. En primer plano tenemos aquello que significa compromiso y la dedicación a una causa aún y cuando no tengamos idea sobre cómo debemos satisfacer las demandas de esta. En segundo plano la manipulación mediática que nos saca de la abstracción y hace que volquemos la atención en insulsos festejos y conmemoraciones.

Joaquín Font's rating of the film Killing Strangers
Joaquín Font

Cinematrográficamente interesante, valiente en varios sentidos, aunque quizás por eso débil en otros; entreteje dos vertientes independientes que en realidad no aportan mucho entre ellas. La música es estupenda, la fotografía también.
