Abstract(s)
Viaje hiperrealista hacia el abismo de la sociedad mexicana contemporánea, que Luis Buñuel
inauguraría con el estreno de Los olvidados en 1950, donde se entremezclaba la pobreza, mal dad y una inquietante extrañeza muy naturalista. En este artículo se analizarán una selección
de películas incómodas y transgresoras de Amat Escalante y Carlos Reygadas, en las que
predominan un realismo patológico, mediante narrativas cercanas a lo amargo e inverosímil.
Largometrajes que exhiben deseos reprimidos, violencia, impunidad y corrupción. Lacras y
obsesiones que infelizmente sufre el México actual, en el que ambos autores se expresan de
manera portentosa y crítica hacia dichas plagas. Por último, producciones que nos evocan
una mirada poética e incisiva sobre las diversas problemáticas del país norteamericano.
