Recently Viewed films all coincidentally made by Mexican or Spanish directors.
Babel
I generally like non-linear films. One complaint is that this one never seems to let up on the intensity.
Children of Men
I'm a big fan of dystopian cinema. This film is also intense but with better variation of tone. I like Clive Owen's misanthropy.
Volver
Perhaps a little schmaltzy. I was however surprised to find that Penelope Cruz is not nearly as irritating in her native language.
Pan's Labrynth
A gory adult fairy tale. I can see how some people will consider this an excellent film... if you like that kind of stuff.
