This excellent Mexican film is a frank and in places darkly humorous road trip/coming of age film. The acting from all three leads is superb, with the lead female Luisa offering the maturity of her character to temper the youthful lust of the two male leads, Tenoch and Julio. The director intertwines the themes of sex and death in an interesting way, with much social comment on the poverty in Mexico and the corrupt politicians (Tenochs father is a powerful member of the government).
This is a highly sexed film, with much explicit language, and this is a blessed relief from the often restrained language of Hollywood fare. As the three characters travel together across the Mexican landscapes Luisa ends up showing the young men just how little they really know about sex, each other and the world in general. The ending is a dark twist to proceedings but brings together all the themes nicely.
If you want to see an intelligent movie, with some superb acting and a novel take on the road movie, get hold of a copy.
