Un hombre
abandona la Ciudad de México para irse al campo a preparar su muerte. Allí se
aloja con una vieja viuda india en su desvencijada casa con vistas a un
desolado cañón. En la inmensidad de una salvaje, imponente naturaleza, se
enfrenta a la infinita humanidad de la señora mayor y oscila entre la crueldad
y el lirismo. Sus embotados sentidos vuelven, despertando sus deseos e
instintos por la vida y la sexualidad.
A man on the brink of suicide
regains the will to live under decidedly unusual circumstances in this drama
from Mexico. A quietly despondent man (Alejandro Ferretis) leaves behind the
city for a journey into a quiet village in the valley, telling anyone who
cares to know that once he's settled in, he intends to kill himself. The man
takes a room with Ascen (Magdalena Flores), and elderly woman who lost her
husband some years ago. Keeping to himself, the man paints, thinks, and
prepares himself for death, while Ascen slowly becomes aware of the depth of
his depression. As Ascen's nephew attempts to rob her of her share of the
family estate, the man feels a desire to live waking inside him again — as
well as the desire for a woman. Improbably, the man turns to Ascen for
physical affection, and sensing his need for comfort, she complies, though
the seduction lacks a great deal in the way of romance. The first feature
film from writer and director Carlos Reygadas, Japon received an enthusiastic
response when it was screened as part of the Directors' Fortnight series at
the 2002 Cannes Film Festival.
