“Cinema is primarily about capturing existence. It’s the part that I appreciate most about the medium.” Carlos Reygadas is one of cinema’s most audacious and uncompromising talents. Inspired by the Russian master Tarkovsky and Existentialism, his expressionistic films are equally shocking and poetic, containing some of the most startling and ecstatic sequences in modern cinema. From his provocative debut Japón (2002), to the controversial Battle in Heaven (2005), the transcendent Silent Light (2007), and the experimental Post Tenebras Lux (2012), Carlos has eluded the confines of genre and style to explore the outer limits of alienation, spirituality, and sexuality.
