Matando Cabos - Alejandro Lozano - Mexico - (2004)




Plot by Imdb:"A dark, offbeat comedy about a group of Mexico City teens embroiled in a kidnapping involving a retired wrestling legend and a parrot."

When a cannibal midget and an ex-luchador comes together for the the sake of bad taste, you know you're watching our kind of movie. The "WTF?" kind. Alejandro Lozano obviously has watched QT movies and felt that the door was now open to an all-out, multi-levels, inside-joke, dark humor kind of crime-comedy that doesn't let you go and creates surprises at every scenes. You don't have to be Mexican to enjoy this wonderful little gem but it helps a bit to have a general knowledge of Mexican society and culture to really appreciate the irony of some situations. Definitively a fan of Mexican cinema, serious or fucked up, I enjoyed myself tremendously watching this. If you can, watch it in Spanish, it's genuinely funnier.
