Carlos Reygadas' 'Silent Light' is More Posing for the Poseursnew
In Reygadas' facetious approach to his subject matter, he pushes Art buttons: lots of rewound clocks and that big Dreyeresque moment confronting death. It lacks the wit and feeling of Frank Borzage's Three Comrades where a thrown watch transcends time and death.

'Silent Light' is Long and Slow but Full of Moments of Beautynew
Reaching nearly two and a half hours at an unrelentingly glacial pace, this is most definitely not a film for the ADD set; comparatively, Jim Jarmusch's Broken Flowers feels like the latest Indiana Jones flick. But the peculiar setting keeps things interesting, the cast is compelling and the cinematography and editing are truly exceptional.
