Film Details

“The foreign-language discovery of 2015 so far, and pretty close to the best film I’ve seen all year” (Andrew O’Hehir, Salon) is a comedy that pays tribute to the early films of the French New Wave and other 1960s b&w classics. A mischievous Mexican teen is sent to stay with his equally feckless college student brother in 1999 Mexico City during a student strike. These two güeros (light-skinned Mexicans), along with the dynamic (and sexy) strike leader Ana, go in search of a legendary sixties folk singer who allegedly made Bob Dylan cry. “Best debut feature I've seen in the last year, best Mexican film in recent memory.” –Godfrey Cheshire, RogerEbert.com.
