Product Description Marcos (Marcos Hernandez) is the middle-aged chauffeur of Ana (Anapola Mushkadiz), daughter of a Mexican general who amuses herself by working as a prostitute in a high-end brothel. Marcos and his wife (Berta Ruiz) have kidnapped a baby for ransom but it went tragically wrong when the infant died. When he confesses his guilt to Ana, a bond of secrecy consecrated by the flesh unites them. As the police draw closer, she urges him to turn himself in but instead he seeks redemption from a higher power. desertcart.com Battle In Heaven, Carlos Reygadas follow-up to Japón, opens with a controversial oral sex scene involving beauty, Ana (Anapola Mushkadiz), and the beast, Marcos (Marcos Hernández). Marcos is Anas chauffeur, who has kidnapped and accidentally killed a baby. Ana, a generals daughter by day and a prostitute by night, confides in Marcos and performs sexual favors for him in order to persuade him to turn himself in. She is too young, however, to understand Marcoss confused mental state, and her sensitive position with him puts her in peril. Set in Mexico City, this tragic drama is as much about failed intimacy as it is about Mexican class structure, as Ana and Marcos attempt to bridge the class gap. A few explicit sex scenes show Marcos in bed with Ana or his wife (Bertha Ruiz), thus garnering it reviews that compare it to The Brown Bunny. In fact, the slow pacing and artsy, self-consciously composed shots do remind one of The Brown Bunny, in that both films are initially interesting but grow dull as their plots take forever to unfold. An intriguing plot is buried under seemingly eternal panoramic shots of the city, painfully slow conversation between characters, and constant close-ups of Marcos face that are meant to capture his angst but only deter narrative. Nevertheless, this films merit is based in its experimental energy, and any director who follows up a graphic sex scene with a cut to the waving of the countrys flag (in this case Mexicos) has my respect. --Trinie Dalton Review: Mexican thriller, with benefits - First of all, the story. A couple kidnap a baby that then dies. The twist: The man, Marcos is the driver and bodyguard to a general. The general's daughter (Who is gorgeous) spends her evenings working as a prostitute at a high class brothel she calls "The boutique". When Marcos reveals the kidnapping to the girl, the conflict arises. There is some explicit sex, but it is minimal, and should not detract from anyone's enjoyment of this movie. There are layers of subtlety here. Marco's wife earns some money selling all kinds of things in the Mexico subway, among them cakes made with (Eeeek) Sugus. He wears a jacket that identifies him as a security guard. The contrast between his lifestyle and the upper class lifestyle adds social commentary and depth to the movie. I recommend it without reservations. Review: Nice - Nice

Avoid this film
This film promises graphic sex involving beautiful lead actress. There is oral sex on a fat man who has large drooping breasts. The plot is bad, the audio is bad, the cinematography is bad.

A very realistic film
This is a really good movie. The acting was very well done. Lot's of explicit nudity so be ready or avoid if you are easily offended by near porn level activity. But not porn. Is a very real film. Well Done.

Sex and politics.
Not for kids, to be sure. A thought provoking as well as eye-opening film. The first thing you will notice is the explicit filming of the sex scenes. After that, there is a complex film to watch for intertwined themes of politics, futility and power, helplessness, sex and violence. And sex.

this film has received mixed reviews; there are ythose who hate it and those who love it. i belong to the latter group. first of all, the cinematography as the main character moves through the city of mexico is breathtaking and you feel yourself hanging left and right in your chair as sharp turns are taken. the sex scenes are graphic, but not gratuitous; it's the way most of us have sex, not under the covers with our bras and underpants on. most importantly, this movie is inhabited by real people, fat people, old people, crippled people and people who are generally not regarded as photogenic. and the fat people are having sex. is that so hard to believe? it's great to see that sex is finally portrayed as something not exclusively restricted to the ashton kutchers and demi moores of this world. woven into all of this is an all too human story of love, betrayal and rejection

I’d suggest watching Carlos Reydegas’ films as an oeuvre, not individually. Individually circular, this starts and ends with explicit (not staged) sex, and the raising lowering of the Mexican flag. Disturbing in every sense & stunning camera work. You’ve gotta be a fan to appreciate the nuances.
