This is a seriously underrated suspense movie, first of all, Mexican movies seem to be in my mind only "Mexican three masters" films are more attention-sensitive. As a whole Spanish-language film, there are many good works, and the "Mexican Three Masters" have brushed up on Hollywood, of course, the big directors who chose to go to Hollywood after becoming famous are Robert Rodriguez, Alfonso Aarau and so on. So that this Mexican local film was only seen last month under the recommendation of a friend, the digression is a bit far-fetched, let's talk about the movie.
The whole film is like a Mobius ring, an infinite loop formed by a closed circle. However, the director adopts a paragraph-based narrative structure instead of the traditional narrative structure to show the content of the story. This expression may deepen the audience's understanding of the film, but it is also its charm. Friends who love suspense films definitely like to give people a feeling of complete inconsistency at first, and then suddenly open up.
The film uses time as a cutting node, resetting once every 35 years. Using a completely different story to advance, thinking that the wind and horses are not compatible, and finally connecting them to form the entire film framework. It seems illogical but full of logic. Through the magical settings of infinite loops and parallel spaces, the film also guides the thinking about human nature such as "choice", "the opposite of the real world", and "heart knot". I think the theme of the film at the end should be, "Untie all the shackles and demons, let go of yourself, and reconcile with yourself."
