In honor of Cinco de Mayo, I thought I would do a post about one of my favorite and fairly unknown Mexican filmmakers, Carlos Reygadas. Reygadas has directed three feature films - Japon, Battle in Heaven and most recently Silent Light. He’s a visual filmmaker who focuses on landscapes and people instead of plot and action.

I was lucky enough to see Silent Light at the New York Film Festival last year - it hasn’t been distributed yet. It’s a beautiful, Dreyer-esque story of a love triangle in a small Mennonite community:

You can go here to read an interview with Reygadas from a few years ago :

And be sure to to rent his two earlier films today. You can watch trailers for the films below:
