EL TIEMPO ROBADO
Por Roger Koza Una cita angelical para el pasado y una afirmación delirante para el presente, quizás con razón. Dice el santo, uno de los primeros sospechados de herejía: “Hazte como un niño, / ¡hazte sordo y ciego! / Tu propio yo / ha de ser nonada, / ¡atraviesa todo ser y toda nada! / […]

MES FICUNAM 2014 (27): CINEMA OF THE OUTSIDE: ON ALAIN GUIRAUDIE FILMS
By Roger Koza Alain Guiraudie is one of the freest contemporary filmmakers. In times when transgression and provocation are confused with an exercise of freedom, Guiraudie might film a male-on-male fellatio or a couple of men masturbating each other in the forest, but his filmic universe is completely detached from the imperatives of lewd, scandalous […]

NEBRASKA (01)
GEOGRAFÍA EMOCIONAL Por Marcela Gamberini Perfecta perspectiva artificial. Toda la pantalla es imagen pura, a puro blanco y negro. Sobre el punto de fuga, en la línea del horizonte, la figura pequeña de un hombre avanza hacia nosotros. Un enrejado a un lado de la imagen, al otro una carretera, autos que van y vienen. […]

SHORT REVIEWS (13) / MES FICUNAM 2014 (08): PEOPLE AND LANDSCAPE
Costa da Morte, Lois Patiño, España, 2013 In everyday life, our optical behavior rarely imitates the panoramic of cinema.

SHORT REVIEWS (12): P3ND3JO5 / MES FICUNAM 2014 (06): MATERIAL VIRGINS
P3nd3jo5, Raúl Perrone, Argentina, 2013 By Raúl Perrone What is a cumbiópera? (1) It is a heterodox fusion of two musical genres with just one thing in common —the twelve notes of the musical scale. The result is magnificent, with the electronic intervention of DJs following the lead of Perrone’s mixture between Puccini, cumbia, sounds […]

SHORT REVIEWS (09): SUEÑO Y SILENCIO / THE DREAM AND THE SILENCE
Sueño y silencio / The Dream and the Silence, Jaime Rosales, Spain, 2012 By Roger Koza The invisible emotional work of mourning is not often filmed with precision; inevitable as its very causes, mourning is an imposed state of mind, a never-chosen experience. And without any doubt the most terrible mourning is that in which […]

Die Zeit Vergeht Wie Ein Brüllender Löwe / Times Goes by Like a Roaring Lion, Philipp Hartmann, Germany, 2013 By Roger Koza A filmic philosophical essay often poses a challenge: how to film an idea? Often, talking about a particular matter is confused with materializing it in front of the camera. That’s why Philipp Hartman […]

MES FICUNAM 2013 (20): BUSTER BUDDHA AND OTHER BUDDHIST SCENES
Mekong Hotel, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, 2012 By Roger Koza Apichatpong Weerasethakul has got us used to a mysterious world ruled by different signs, to a trance-like cinema with wondering specters, animals that communicate with us, men and women floating through existence without getting to know neither the ailments of the flesh nor the misfortunes of history.
