For the past 18 years, the Directors have established your, screenwriters, and actors from the Central American country at the forefront of world cinema. They are regularly invited to the important Festivals, rooms, prices, but are also in many countries of the earth to the funds successfully.
Breakthrough with “Amores Perros”
In the year 2000, which is still ongoing at the end of the movie, began of flowering. “Amores Perros”, the brilliant debut of the then-37-year-old Director Alejandro Gonzáles Iñárritu, bringing to the international film world. The film historian Roman wall, wrote in a Band over the young Mexican cinema, the plot to the phenomenon as early as nine years ago, in an Essay on Inárritus debut: “‘Amores Perros’ combines the stylistic developments in auteur cinema of the 1990s to a powerful synergy: the new realism in the environment studies on the one hand, the episodic Telling of parallel worlds, on the other – two Trends, which have pushed back the artificiality of the post-modern and the linear travel Heroes.”
Leonardo DiCaprio and Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu are pleased with their Oscars for “The Revenant”
Also, today is also world-famous and Oscar-winning Director colleagues Alfonso Cuaron and Guillermo del Toro managed to remain Mexican roots and to not deny their cultural Background, even if you shot with a big Budget in Hollywood. They managed to work with Stars such as Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett and George Clooney, without a soul – and spirit-free from commercial objectives dominated Hollywood mediocrity.
Golden lion in 2018, for Alfonso Cuarón
Cuarón, the Grow up his business card in 2001, with the wonderful study on the “made Y tu mamá también – Lust for Life”, and shone in the US with the large-scale productions of “Children of Men” and “Gravity”, was even able to put for his contribution to the Harry Potter series (“H. P. and the Prisoner of Azkaban”, 2004) their own accents.
Now all the world is waiting for his Venice Golden lion-winning Film “Roma”. In “Roma”, Cuarón after years of working in Hollywood, back in his home country, has turned, has ignited a dispute that is likely to provide plenty of fuel for conflict. The Film was bought by the U.S. giant Netflix. If he sees now in front of the broadcast at the Streaming Portal of all the light of the big screen, is currently still in the stars.
Guillermo del Toro and two of his Oscars for “Shape of Water”
Guillermo del Toro, who had delivered his Mexican debut in 1993 with the fantastic-mystical “Cronos”, was established in Hollywood, first with but is not limited to such as “Hellboy” or “Mimic”. Who had already thought of that master of the chilling effect would the lure of the cinema-machinery of Hollywood succumb to the surprised del Toro in 2006, “pan’s Labyrinth”. The darkly surreal and fascinating study of the aftermath of the Spanish civil won the war, three Oscars.
Because del Toro continued in the past year, seamlessly: “Shape of Water” Association, as well Fantasy and Horror, Melodrama and history sent. Also there were prizes galore.
To discover: Carlos Reygadas
A completely different direction Director Carlos Reygadas is a hit. Wolfgang Martin Hamdorf characterized Reygadas in the Band “The Mexican boy” as “unusual filmmaker, even within a such an unusual film country such as Mexico”. Reygadas has acquired six films (most recently in Venice presented by “Nuestro tiempo”) the reputation of a visually exceptional representative of his profession: “His own synthesis of transcendence and realism in a mixture of naturalness of the Amateur actors, an almost metaphorical stylization and an excellent observation of the Details,” says Hamdorf.
Luis Buñuel
18 years ago to the turn of the Millennium, the film world was hardly prepared for the “Nuevo Cine Mexicano”. Although some works had to be created in the 1990s at Festivals, stir and country were the funds successfully, but what should follow then, from the year 2000, is a film, historically, is extremely remarkable. You have to look back to the period after the Second world war, as the Spain upcoming Luis Bunuel, in Mexican exile, with his films caused a sensation, in order to discover a similar international attention for the film country of Mexico.
In Luis Buñuel’s Footsteps
On some of the make Inárritu, Cuarón and del Toro now. Also in your films, the audience encounters a magical combination of hard everyday realism and surrealist elements. It are worthy, in their artistic claim, but completely independent successor to a couple of decades after buñuel’s Creating in the Mexican exile, now in the big footsteps of the native Spaniard.
