Synopsis
“Our Time gores masculinity on its own horns. Carlos Reygadas lays bare masculine pathology with a typically bravura and extraordinarily unsparing dissection of love and marriage, casting himself and his spouse, Natalia López, at the heart of the piece. Reygadas conducts existential investigations into the human capacity for altruism, the correlation between love and possession, and the universally devastating ramifications of patriarchal culture. It makes for a relentless, harrowing viewing experience but also, ultimately, a cathartic one. As such, Reygadas and López’s willingness to lay themselves bare in this manner, without embellishment or facile absolution, represents a deeply generous gesture.” (Giovanni Marchini Camia, Sight and Sound)
