Review

A beautifully crafted film that expresses the meaning of culture and acceptance. Very different than what I would usually choose to watch but this film deserve a lot more credit then it is given. To see the viewpoint of the mayans rather vice versa is refreshing. Contrary to the film apoclypto, this film has a lot more meaning and causes the viewer to dig deeper, and think about the content in another way. The director was very creative in his use of formalism and not using the typical Hollywood props and obvious tactics. What I really appreciated was that the director used a plastic virgin mary, not to just represent religion but that it is more than spiritual but physical to some extent but not beyond what we can comprehend thats why it was plastic figure and not represented as a human figure through another character. A very interesting film!
