Post Tenebras Lux
Light after darkness
Directed by Carlos Reygadas
Produced by No Dream Cinema, Mantarraya Producciones
A dreamlike, philosophically dense meditation on the collision between urban and rural worlds, told through fragmented imagery and existential uncertainty.
Juan and his urban family live in the Mexican countryside, where they enjoy and suffer a world apart. And nobody knows if these two worlds are complimentary or if they strive to eliminate one another.
