"I am from Mexico City, which is to say I was raised on Luis Buñuel before I knew I was. I now live partly in Madrid and partly nowhere, and the films I send reflect that. There is a sensibility that runs from Buñuel through Lucrecia Martel and through Carlos Reygadas — a tolerance for slowness, an openness to the strange, an absolute refusal to explain."
"Many of the films I send are subtitled. I want my members to feel a small amount of effort, the way you feel effort when you arrive in a new city. The effort is part of the pleasure."
— Tomás
From recent slates
Subtitled, slow, and I will not apologize for either. There is a long scene at a kitchen sink that does almost nothing. Almost. Watch the hands.
From Lucrecia Martel. If you have not seen her, you are about to understand what the rest of us have been talking about.
A film set in a town I have actually been to, in northern Argentina, which I think made me a more forgiving viewer than I would have otherwise been. Let me know.
