Excruciating. A sense of connection with the main character is established a good way in as suicide seems preferable over having to finish this crap. Reminds me of the metaphoric masturbation of Pasolini's late work.

extraordinary, vivid, realistic depiction of an isolated man's return to humanity via a trip down to an old Mexican village still steeped in the slow, old-world virtues of the past. great filmmaker.
