Last week I had no idea who Cary Fukunaga was. Since then I've watched Jane Eyre on Saturday and Sin Nombre today. The fact that these two films are the first features he's directed amazes me.

Like Jane Eyre, the tone and style of Sin Nombre is established during it's opening shots and stays true to it right up to the end. That's not to say their similar movies because I don't think anyone would watch these back to back and suspect that the same director was behind them.

The cinematography is beautiful. The cast is top notch. The script is tight. The film is violent, honest, tragic and heartfelt. I loved every minute of it.
