It has cost Mexican cinema to connect with the public. In the first decade of the century there was a tendency to the realistic cinema of social denunciation that was rejected for showing themes that were seen daily in the red note in newspapers and TV. Many argued that it was tremendous cinema.
In the second decade there was a 180 ° turn when betting mostly on romantic comedies ramplonas.
That is to say, the fair means that Mexican moviegoers are looking for has not been found. That is why meeting this film has been a pleasant surprise. An erotic thriller of great manufacturing that in turn is a remake of a 2011 Colombian film: 'The Hidden Face'.
A love triangle with ambivalent characters and passionate scenes of fine eroticism in a beautiful house nestled in the middle of the Lions Desert. As in the acclaimed Korean film 'Parasites', the interior of the luxurious residence and the secrets therein play a fundamental role in the intrigues that oscillate between terror, isolation, jealousy and betrayal at different levels.
A thriller that reminded me of good films of the genre like the classic noventero 'Basic Instinct' by Paul Verhoeven for the successive twists that keep the viewer in suspense. A Gesell Chamber that has an effective, forceful and specific dramatic weight in the skein of vehement feelings and internal struggles of each of the characters involved in an effervescent triangle that can overflow at any time.
I can say that next to the film 'Perfect Unknown' are the best Mexican films I've seen in quite some time. I hope the diversification continues. Let them get rid of tasteless comedies and there is an opening to terror, science fiction and thriller.
