What I'm Watching #100

Have I really shared 100 movies on this blog? Wow, where does our time go? This latest is another film from the Mexican director, Julián Hernández.

Let me start by saying that it's simply brilliant.

Hernández crafts an experience in the process of telling a story that demands and rewards your undivided attention. If this cat doesn't win the oscar for best foreign film soon, well; there is no god.

He's just that good.

The story of two young men who meet and fall in love is just the bones to this movie's heart and soul. I should imagine any actor feeling completely blessed to be working with Hernández, and it shows in the integrity and innocence of the performances: Especially Fernando Arroyo and Miguel Angel Hoppe.

In a world full of movies; "Broken Sky" is a work of art.
