So many films,

So little space to write about them. Instead, I'm picking a Favorite-favorite to rant about:
Los Diarios Motociclos. A very literal road-journey of Che Guevara's education of the people and Latin American classes. Also beautiful in terms of scenery. A quote: ¿Cómo es posible sentir nostalgia por un mundo que nunca conocí?

"How is it possible to feel nostalgia for a world I have never known?"

If you like Gael García Bernal as much as I do, you will also love La Mala Educación. It too involves a series of journeys and roadways, but they connect less in spatial terms and more in terms of a series of memories. It's really good, though, and very neo-noir.

That's my bit. See you kids on Wednesday.
