Joel Meza is one of the most ironic and corrosive Mexican film critics (open brackets for linking one of my favorite posts of his blog, that each I read piss me laugh: http://ideasdejoel.blogspot.com/2010/07/5-dias-sin-nora-12.html ; close parenthesis) on the Web at http://ideasdejoel.blogspot.com/ Joel writes about celluloid monsters who stumbles on "the ranch", back in Mexicali, a city that, like many others in the country, has a bad (or is it good?) lucky enough to receive some of the Mexican film to premiere in Mexico City.
1) What are the 15 best films of the 2000-2009 Mexican?
not think I've seen, unfortunately, 15 Mexican films of the new century yet. From what little we've seen, the most obvious:
-old thieves.
"The Backyard.
"The Crime of Father Amaro.
"Herod's Law.
-blue eyelids.
-Season Ducks.
-...
2) What issues of concern to contemporary Mexican filmmaker?
I do not think there are so many common issues such as how to address them: the plague is the most common these days, I think. Indeed, the recent Mexican films that I liked are not precisely hit.
3) Does the film accurately reflects this period of society?
could not say, because so little recent Mexican films I've seen. At least the documentary, I think they do.
4) How do Mexican cinema reflected the political, social and cultural rights of the decade?
Well, I do think there four mentioned above have done successfully, each in its own way. Herod's Law, with his satire of hand. Crime ... and The Backyard, denouncing a serious way, with a well-constructed reality (whether that is a lot like reality true ) within the film. Los Ladrones Viejos, just talking about what he does little more than a decade could not say openly without consequences: the corruption of police officers and governors.
Duck Season could occur in any city today. Similarly, Blue Eyelids is a love story in limbo.
