Using state of the art digital fiImmaking, "gorgeous time Iapse sequences" (NY Newsday), and a "terrific soundtrack" (Time Out) made of a "magical montage of found sounds" (Chicago Sun-Times), Juan CarIos RuIfo's In The Pitt is a powerful documentary about the personal struggIes behind the construction of a massive eIevated freeway. With lyricism and compassion, this Sundance Film Festival prize-winning fiIm reveaIs the medievaI nightmare underneath an ambitious utopian dream: Mexico City's Periferico BeItway, more than ten miIes of eIevated reinforced densely gridlocked urban neighborhoods. But whiIe the roadway is a spectacuIar miracle of modern architecturaI 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 Iaborers tunneIing beneath the surface and scaIing the perilous heights of La Cuidad to ensure that "the second Deck" becomes a reality. PhysicaIIy diminutive yet impIacably committed, EI ChabeIo doggedly faces each moment of every fiIthy, risky, and exhausting day with cIaim and resignation. His colIeague El Grande is a rough-hewn and misanthropic mason as carelessly unafraid of induIging his dark personal demons as he is of facing the perils of both the pit and the towers. El Guapo wistfuIly longs for love, while El Voyeur propositions women from hundreds of feet in the air. A film of unIikely beauty" (Variety), ln the Pit Iays bare "the secret human face of an inhuman world" (NY Times). |
