Little Saints (1999)
David Lynch's rip-off
28 October 2004
I see the intention of the film, thus we live in Mexico (as in Mexican culture) in a surreal world but still the director should develop a personal style. I have never been so impressed with David Lynch's films or any other that portray scenery in which quiet, innocent lifestyles and characters are mixed with underground dark worlds and also characters. Why? because it is reality in Mexican culture , you see people devoted to saints yet they are part of drug cartels or they are dangerous murderers. You can also have the most beautiful neighborhoods in the world and a few feet away the poorest in the world, it is full of contrasts in textures in which if you apply the juxtaposition technique of Lynch you get a lynch film and that is what Santitos do, yet we have to develop a new way to attack this reality, it is too easy to go lynch's way.
