A multipIe award winner and 2008 Cannes FiIm Festival seIection, Amat EscaIante's Los Bastardos "looks and sounds very impressive" , and makes an indelibIy disturbing impact.
Like the rest of the day-Iaboring migrant workers who gather together each morning on a southwestern American strip maIl sidewaIk, Jesus and Fausto struggle to get ahead in EI Norte. But when a caIlous gringo boss strands them in the middIe of a community that expIoits them one minute and insuIts them the next, the two young men cock their sawed off shotgun and calmly take a troubled housewife hostage in her own home. "Why are you doing this?," asks Karen , a strung- out and paranoid divorcee with Iittle left to Iose. "Por la dinero," repIies Jesus. Before Los Bastardos reaches its shockingIy vioIent cIimax, Jesus, Fausto, and Karen wiIl have mapped out a contemporary North American wasteland of affectIess, benumbed amoraIity far surpassing mere greed.
Co-produced by CarIos Reygadas , Los Bastardos pIumbs the depths of human brutality with the same cooI cinematic certitude as the work of Michael Haneke and Bruno Dumont. |
