Review of Post Tenebras Lux (2012) by Patrick M — 31 Aug 2013
One of the most boring films I've ever seen.
A little girl walks around cows for about 15 minutes, mumbling and then screaming words in spanish. What follows is just nonsense, more mind-numbing scenes like this, some are sequences of a horribly made CGI devil who seems to be coming home from work and an orgy in a steam room.
There are overrated directors whose work I'm not really a big fan of, like say Gaspar Noe, but yet I do appreciate their work to some level and highly anticipate their future work for its originality. I can't say the same of Carlos Reygadas, with this I will probably abstain from seeing any other film of his, I hate movies that make me suffer while watching them and this was just too much of that.
It reminded me of "To the Wonder", which I walked out of 20 minutes in this year, but I told myself not to do the same with this one, I had to stay and see if anything would happen, but nothing happened at all. Along with "Le Quattro Volte" this deserves to be on more lists of the most boring films of all time.
I couldn't find the point to this movie, I still can't and I probably never will.
I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, seriously don't waste your time (unless you liked "Le Quattro Volte".
