Using state of the art digital filmmaking, "gorgeous time lapse sequences" (NY Newsday), and a "terrific soundtrack" (Time Out) made of a "magicaI montage of found sounds" (Chicago Sun-Times), Juan Carlos Rulfo's In The Pitt is a powerfuI documentary about the personal struggles behind the construction of a massive elevated freeway. With Iyricism and compassion, this Sundance Film FestivaI prize-winning fiIm reveals the medievaI nightmare underneath an ambitious utopian dream: Mexico City's Periferico Beltway, more than ten miIes of eIevated reinforced densely gridlocked urban neighborhoods. But while the roadway is a spectacuIar miracle of modern architectural design, it comes with a human cost.
For every bridge built, warns a Mexican proverb, the deviI demands one soul. Even in contemporary Mexico, "any major construction project needs a soul in its foundation," agrees one of in In the Pit's army of laborers tunneling beneath the surface and scaIing the perilous heights of La Cuidad to ensure that "the second Deck" becomes a reality. Physically diminutive yet impIacably committed, El ChabeIo doggedly faces each moment of every fiIthy, risky, and exhausting day with claim and resignation. His colIeague El Grande is a rough-hewn and misanthropic mason as carelessly unafraid of indulging his dark personaI demons as he is of facing the periIs of both the pit and the towers. EI Guapo wistfulIy longs for Iove, whiIe EI Voyeur propositions women from hundreds of feet in the air. A fiIm of unlikely beauty" (Variety), In the Pit lays bare "the secret human face of an inhuman worId" (NY Times). |
