Bajo California


I've been trying to find the film "Bajo California: El Limite Del Tiempo" with English subtitles, but extensive searching has turned up nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sadly I can't help you. The only DVD release I know is a mexican one, although its region 1&4, it doesn't contains english subtitles.
There is not much dialogue in the movie, but the few lines are memorable and really meaningful.

In addition the mexican DVD doesn't makes justice to the breathtaking cinematography by Claudio Rocha.
The DVD is "another" cheap release by "Quality Films" (sic), it's cropped and the colors are excesively muted, the contrast is also poor.
The audio is not good neither; something that affects the movie experience a lot since the haunting score from "Bajo California" composed by Antonio Fernández Ros is both nostalgic and magic and helps to tell the story efficiently.

Anyway that's better than nothing I guess. So if your spanish is good enough, go and rent the DVD, if your spanish is not enough good, then I suggest you to watch it in the company of a spanish-speaking person (if Mexican born, better --cause there are a some mexican idioms and customs that other spanish speakers might not fully understand), since the dialogue is scarce, he/she won't have problems translating it to you, and the movie experience won't be ruined.

cheers.
