"Revolution" takes for excuse the Centennial celebration of the Mexican Revolution to show the current forms of filmmaking in Mexico. But, is it Mexican cinema? It doesn't care to answer this question.

I just saw this movie at the Morelia Film Festival, where the majority of the directors were present to discuss their films. It's interesting and it deserves to be celebrated the diversity of contemporary Mexican cinema. "Revolution" is not film about the Mexican Revolution, neither and it's not a triumphant film. It is a film that explores the concept of "revolution" as a renewal or as an critique of what has been said about it.

"Revolution" is not a protest film, but of personal art commitment of each director. Worth watching.

I rate this collection of short films very good. The grouping displays the diverse points of view in Mexican contemporary filmmakers...I viewed at Vistas Film Festival in Dallas...nice discussion with a director about his contribution and the concept of the film...worth watching if you love film for the art of filmmaking...not a film about revolution per se but a celebration of the revolution in filmmaking on the anniversary of a political revolution...

The film is constructed of ten short films, (peliculas cortos), each directed by a Mexican filmmaker. According to the discussion at Vistas, the filmmakers were left to their own devises. The project was funded by the Mexican government without interference...commercial funding was also provided. Eash film is unique. There is no central theme other than contemporary Mexican filmmaking on display. A great introduction to the directors and their art.
