El Cielo Dividido

The second film by Mexican cinematographer Julián Hernández has been released on DVD. The first was Mil nubes de paz cercan el cielo, amor, jamás acabarás de ser amor (A Thousand Clouds of Peace Fence the Sky, Love; Your Being Love Will Never End) and won the 53rd Berlinale. It was a touching portrait of a young man yearning for love - a theme we all are far too familiar with (see trailer).

The new one is called El Cielo Dividido (Broken Sky). It's again an epic picture with minimized plot and dialogues of young men oppressed by love-longing. Don't expect a film - El Cielo Dividido is more like a dance.

I did not only liked the love story but as well that the producer does not make use to much of the spoken words. He rather uses the gestures language, with very emotiv tableaux...

Thanks in deed for your excellent blog :)
