Mexican writer and director Carlos Reygadas misfires with his much anticipated fourth feature. A wealthy couple and their two children live on a remote estate where they experience marital problems until tragedy strikes. While Reygadas' first three films had a clear vision along with an original voice that made his work stand out, he fails to break new ground with this disjointed film which is a disappointment on many levels. The striking cinematography by Alexis Zabe is the film's only saving grace. 1001 Films' coverage of the 65th Festival de Cannes.
