Japón (2002)
A rare sample of filmmaking stripped down to basics

A 16mm camera, a great DP, excellent music choice (including silence bits) and a compelling universal story are more than enough to get your message across. In this rare delicacy called Japon (I still don't quite understand the reasoning behind this title), Reygadas shows how large budgets and star actors are no longer needed to move and transform film-goers (not just experienced cinefiles) over a +90' timeframe. Isn't art designed to move and transform its audience?
