ZFF 2022 #36
Weirdly, if not to say disappointingly straightforward by Guzmán's standards. You'd think protests breaking out over metro ticket prices and ballooning into civil unrest and constitutional reform would play right into his penchant for associative documentary storytelling and historical musings, but things remain fairly close to the surface throughout. What is interesting – and quite refreshing – however, is how the film doesn't put itself on the defensive, defining the left-leaning-to-leftist position not in negative terms, i.e. in opposition to the right, but on the basis of its own positive vision. Could have been much better though.
