pelicula 09 in review

i only watched two films but the two are among the best films ive seen this year.

la zona is a powerful and gripping thriller that touches the social contrast in a third world big city like mexico. i find it hard to believe that this is the first feature film of its director Rodrigo Pla. he will only get better. watch out.

caotica ana is a film on reincarnation and unending love. this film by acclaimed director julio medem got mixed reviews but i personally like it. it is beautifully filmed and charlotte rampling(lead character) is still a sight to behold.


hail to the spanish and latin america film makers. of all the film festivals, pelicula is still my favorite.
