This is the immediate future of cinema!!

Think about this; if great movies this days are global, simple, and make you feel different. No wonder why this one won in his natal Mejico best film this year! It's been in just 3 us film festivals and already won the San Antono film festival.

This is a little something you have to see. No violence, no sex, just a simple story that gets you out of the theater for the second time thinking how they did all this with so little. My bet... a good heart & big pair of balls.

I'm still thinking; How the hell this guys got the U2 rights of their images, and music in such a small film? The actors; "Tony" (Jaime Camil) is not only hilarious but deep. And the other dude "Claudio" (Eduardo Arroyuelo) if you think that less in better, you got to see an actor that in his first movie in a leading role already understands what acting in 2006 is all about... ..."simplicity" something that took people like Juliette Binoche, Tony Leung Ka Fai or great masters like Michael Caine years to learn.

Believe me you are going to hear a lot about this one.
