Battle in Heaven (2005)
Marcos and his wife kidnap a baby for ransom money, but it goes tragically wrong when the infant dies. In another world is Ana, the daughter of the general he drives for, who prostitutes herself for pleasure. Marcos confesses his guilt to her in his troubled search for relief. And then finds himself on his knees amidst the multitude of believers moving slowly towards the Basilica in honour of the Lady of Guadalupe. (Tartan Films)

arzu nesnesine giden bütün yollar sınıfsal/kültürel olarak tıkalı olan marcos, ona yaklaşmak için bir hayal sahnesine sığınır (butik) ama bu hayal sahnesinde, nesnesine en yakın olduğu anda dahi ona dokunabileceği değerler sistemine/kavramsal araçlara sahip olmayı başaramaz. böyle bir dokunuşun/temasın gerçeklikte yaşanma koşulu ise dokunulanın yok edilmesidir. bkz.

In Silent Light Reygadas convinced me that he was very skilled - emotional intelligent and mature. I struggle to believe that this is the same man who made Battle in Heaven two years earlier, a film made by a man who for all his arthouse stylings and Christian imagery was just a child with an immature sense of humour (seriously, pissing jokes?), a lack of understanding of his characters and a need to provoke by using sex and violence rather than captivate with beauty and cinematic magic.

Reminiscent of Ferrara's BAD LIEUTENANT, with interesting choices about what to include or exclude from the frame, but too many scenes feature characters moving about in an inexplicably robotic way and having almost no dialogue. As it approaches its melodramatic climax it becomes less and less possible to buy into the film, or to believe that the director's motivations are genuine, so that by the end the viewer's feeling is somewhat that of having been conned. Some good use of music.

Maintains a curiously detached disposition towards its lurid subject matter, demystifying sex, death, violence and religion. (Its nationalist criticisms are less coherent, but nonetheless pointed.) This is simultaneously its most compelling virtue and its biggest narrative weakness; I can appreciate what Reygadas accomplishes on an intellectual level, but it (perhaps deliberately) eschews emotional resonance. However, it's certainly admirable in its uncompromising technique and subject matter.

This is fantasy, said the main protagonist. The story mixed a lot the reality and fantasy. That sort of Mexican life is unfamiliar for me. The director was in the familiar waters with Swedish director Roy Andersson, but cannot reach the spheres of him. At least I was not intrigued with the story. Bland story with lazy camerawork and acting was a bad combination despite the story's got some extra ecliptic material.

wonderful cinematography, outside of that the story and the acting is a bit awkward.. Carlos himself says he has trouble working with actors and plot.. despite the films many flaws, it can be decent at times, and it seems to have a distinct look into Reygadas mind/view of contemporary Mexico. Also something about the religious imagery mixed with explicit sex seemed beautiful to me. Ana likewise was beautiful, the spitting image of an angel.. Overall, pretty but confused.
