Los bastardos

zi

Remarkable use of stillness. Engaging, even when "nothing" was happening.

Highly minimalistic, deeply bleak portrait of the weak oppressing the weaker (In this, Mexican immigrants men/woman, confined to suburb, called "gringa" by them maybe). Dir depicts a discrimination between minorities so horrifyingly & makes me scream with so-called-that-movie-directed-by-D.Cronenberg explosion of violence like Jackson Pollok's abstract arts. FIN, but their lifes continue til to die or be killed.

Bad to mediocre acting and badly edited does not mean that it's art house. It means it's not very good.

MATTEO BITTANTI

The Mexican invasion of the US: the key narrative of the 21st century. Mutual exploitation leads to explosion. Everybody loses.

Brooding and unsettling, Escalante's Los Bastardos recalls Haneke's Funny Games with almost all the thrills and unanswered questions but with an added sense of palpable horror.

Interesting. About halfway into the movie I was already dissapointed, it wasn't what I hoped it would have been...I felt like a lot of it was filler, again a 70 minute story padded to 90 minutes, but I guess the director was building tension, even if some of it was boring the final payoff was fantastic.

FISCHER

Porté aux nues par certains (Libération), vilipendé par d'autres (Positif), le film ne mérite ni autant d'éloges flatteurs, ni autant d'opprobres incendiaires. Ses 90 minutes mexicaines recèlent effectivement bien des longueurs et des afféteries surnuméraires, mais aussi, par-delà les facilités et les futilités de la narration, quelques éléments fort pertinents, d'une sourde émotion universelle. www.cinefiches.com

impactante, dolorasa, muestra una realidad que no quiero ver. Invasión a lo pendejo. Una historia que francamente me duele porque soy mexicana y ver la mutua agresión de personajes perdidos. Me dolió por dias. no dormí bien. Valiente director, pero no te vuelvo a ver. No soy tu target
