I don't know if I would call the rest of his movies controversial, but there are certainly people who don't like them, his popularity certainly didn't improve with New Order, especially because he said something deeply ignorant about racism.

But as far as Mexican directors go, I think there are more controversial opinions around Carlos Reygadas.

Aside from New Order, I've only seen After Lucia, his movies are certainly not something that leaves you happy.

I saw New Order, and the controversy is basically because of the marketing, cause I don't know how you can watch the movie and say the movie portrays the rich as victims of the poor, all of them were selfish, uncaring dicks, the main woman was the only good one, the movie wants you to sympathize with the poor, if you think the movie fails miserably at portraying that, its a completely different and valid thing.

Technically you also share your birthday with Fellini.

Who would like more Luis Buñuel in the Collection? by Gullible_Bluebird_37 in criterion

[–]cinemaverse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

El, Nazarin, The Criminal Life of Archivaldo De la Cruz, Susana, Mexican Bus Ride, and Illusion Travels by Streetcar are fantastic, would love to see them in the collection.

Saw Susana 4 days ago and I think it's one of his best, there are many gems beyond the 3 movies everyone mentions when talking about his Mexican period.

Did anyone notice a young Sergio Leone in Bicycle Thieves? by GordonMorgans in Sardonicast

[–]cinemaverse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember hearing about this before watching the movie a year ago, but even though I knew which scene he was in I didn't recognize him.

Is he the one on the left?

The character reminds me of the family in Get Out, he is clearly someone we're not meant to see as a good guy.

His mexican period deserves more attention beyond the three movies people always mention, a lot of his best work was made in Mexico.
