sin nombre...


A film that was so violent in the beginning that I was thinking about walking out. Then, the movie started to become extremely entertaining.

The director is half Japanese and I believe he was born in Oakland and attended UC Santa Cruz. His name is Cary Fukunaga.

Where he got the inspiration to write a script in Spanish and direct a cast of unknown actors from Mexico and Central America is beyond my comprehension?

Per my Sundance friend Jean Lortie who has seen over 30 films this festival, this film will win an award @ Sundance and I concur.

The lead actor was bawling after the world premier of SIN NOMBRE @ Eccles. It was a first in the hundreds of movies I've seen @ Sundance. It was touching...
