Why do we experience catharsis at the movies? ⠀ ⠀ “What is experienced in such an excess of tragic suffering is something truly common. The spectator recognizes [themselves] and [their] fitness in the face of the power of fate... To see that ‘this is how it is’ is a kind of self-knowledge for the spectator, who emerges with new insight from the illusions [they] live.” ⠀ — Gadamer (via @thecolumbialion) ⠀ ⠀ Scene from Alonso Ruizpalaco’s most excellent debut feature, GÜEROS (2014) ⠀ ⠀ .⠀ ⠀ #Güeros #alonsoruizpalacios #tenochhuerta #ilsesalas #sebastianaguirre #leonardoortizgris⠀ #experimentalfilm #avandgarde #cinematic_imagery #firstdayfirstimage #arthouse #arthousecinema #independentcinema #independentfilm #indiefilm #instacinema #cinemagram #mexicancinema #blackandwhite #blancoynegro

Thoughts : Güeros (2014)

It’s so easy to get locked into the system that is Hollywood output these days.  People are quick to give praise and credit to filmmakers from other parts of the world that made movies in the 1980s and prior, but it seems as if modern day filmmakers from other parts of the world struggle for recognition in the states outside of the blockbuster sphere.  That’s what makes discovering a movie like Güeros so rewarding, as it seems like an uncommon breath of fresh air.

Tomás (Sebastián Aguirre) is a young man that often finds himself on the wrong end of trouble, which causes problems for his mother.  At her wits end, she sends him to live with his brother Sombra (Tenoch Huerta) in Mexico City, near the National Univeristy.  Sombra and his roommate Santos (Leonardo Ortizgris) spend their days and nights in a powerless apartment, occasionally stealing power from their downstairs neighbors (against the neighbors’ will).  Disenchanted with how Sombra lives, Tomás leaves the house, only to be followed shortly by Sombra and Santos, now basically evicted due to being caught red-handed attempting to steal electricity.  Tomás, obsessed with folk singer Epigmenio Cruz (Alfonso Charpener), finds out the singer is in poor health and was admitted to a hospital in the area.  Tomás becomes wholly focused on meeting Epigmenio, sending the group into a series of adventures across Mexico City, and even gaining another companion along the way in Ana (Ilse Salas) as they weave in and out of pockets of the 1999 UNAM strike.

This film was heaped with praise upon its release, and it’s evident why almost immediately.  The story has accessible points in it that immediately foster several connections : frustrations of raising a child, living in abject poverty, keeping school system reformation focused and important, and cultural identity are all key parts of the film’s mixture.  Adding in the cult hero chase in regards to Epigmenio and his mystic affect on listeners is a nice touch, especially the repeated refrain of how he made Bob Dylan cry once.  

In terms of style, there are unique and brilliant decisions all over the place, many of which pay homage to older cinema that more than likely influenced this film.  The black and white choice, as well as the non-traditional framing, immediately present echos of old French and Italian cinema, as does the constant shift between static composed shots and vibrant handheld shots.  Much of the film takes place in less than glamorous settings or out on the street, again reminiscent of the French new wave.  The fact that we never hear the music of Epigmenio, despite the fact that the groups carries a cassette and walkmen with them, only further propagates the air of mystery around the character.  Even the sound design and musical cues demand your attention without being intrusive, superfluous or overly-showy.

Where the film really carves its spot is when it gets truly non-traditional, and even a bit meta at times.  I am not sure if all four characters are meant to pay homage to some of the inspirational giants of offbeat cinema, but the inclusion of Ana with her striped shirt, and the reveal of Sombra being named Federico are two major clues in regards to Alonso Ruizpalacios’s influences for this film.  The moments where the movie turns back in on itself are very surreal, be they numerous line reads edited into the film, direct commentary on where character are at or headed in the narrative, or even passive-aggressive observations on the state of cinema in Mexico via representations of that same passive-aggression.  Even the way that the 1999 UNAM strike inserts itself into the overarching narrative has echoes of a similar French student strike that preceded an artistic shift.

Sebastián Aguirre certainly works as the both the bookend focus and the audience tour guide for this film... his unassuming demeanor and ever present nature give us a tangible connection to the film.  By contrast, Tenoch Huerta becomes the one that demands our attention from essentially the moment he makes it to the screen, with his personality only matched by the power of his onscreen panic attacks.  Leonardo Ortizgris goes for my approach to acting, which is subtle realism... think Cole Hauser in Good Will Hunting... so good and natural that you almost forget he’s there until he chooses to make his presence known.  Ilse Salas lives up to the power of her film moniker namesake by giving a performance so magnetic that it’d make Ana Karina jealous.  Alfonso Charpener wins the ‘a lot with a little’ award in his small amount of screen time, infusing a ton of humor into the story resolution while barely moving.

Need a love story?  How about a road movie?  Maybe a debut film with a fresh sense of energy and style to it?  This may be the film for you.
