Taking its title from the Japanese symbol of the rising sun, Reygadas unapologetically uses widescreen cinema, the most lush of formats, as a backdrop for exploring thorny issues of life and death. (Film Forum)

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.

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.

Tedious and deliriously beautiful, though unfortunately not in equal measure. The first act is pretty compellingly weird, but it promises something that never really materialises; the narrative stops dead in its tracks once he moves in with the old lady and it never really recovers. Shows promise, though.

Telafisi mümkün olmayan bir eksiklik ya da fazlalık olarak hayat, gömülme yumuşaklığına tav olmayan bozkır toprağı ve gün ortasında mastürbasyon gıcırtısı az hasarla yaslanılan ölü at kokusunun ardından. Raydan daha zahmetsiz çıkmak mümkün mü, bilenler parmak kaldırsın

Debut movie from Reygadas has lot to offer to audience. Movie is shot in a minimalistic way and feels like documentary. For me the experience was boring but some shocking scenes from the movie is burnt to my mind as also brilliant musical score.

Japão estreava há 20 anos no Festival de Roterddam. Por amar tanto Luz Silenciosa e sua aproximação com Dreyer me fez não equiparar meu deslumbre com o filme de 2007, em todo caso ainda é um grande filme. DVDRip no MakingOff.

I adore Reygadas' naturalist approach, his narrative here unfolds, pauses and reflects with organic sleight of hand guiding it along. A deep sense of unity and truth is achieved despite all of the strange, sometimes grotesque detours and impulsive moments. A uniquely tranquil, symbolic experience.

Unique how daunting this may feel, faced with the reality of accepting the end, and yet completely awaken by desires and human connection.
