Carlos Reygadas premieres experimental film Heil Jupiter! at New York Film Festival
Mexican director Carlos Reygadas premiered his latest feature Heil Jupiter! at the New York Film Festival.
Film explores surreal themes globally
The movie follows four friends whose lives shift from heavenly to hellish over a runtime of 158 minutes. Scenes include sex, authoritarian violence, and surrealism set against breathtaking backdrops shot across the globe. Dialogue in many scenes uses an invented language alongside others.
Director tests cinematic boundaries
Reygadas continues to test the boundaries of cinema with this audaciously executed head trip. The work combines minimalist realism with animalistic and otherworldly elements similar to previous films like Silent Light. This fourth feature marks a major detour toward the avant-garde and the personal for the auteur.
