Life of a Mutt(sr)
2021-05-13
Through seven scenes, the film follows the life and destinies of stray dogs from the margins of our society, leading us to reconsider our attitude towards them. Through the seven “wandering” characters that we follow at different ages, from birth to old age, we witness their dignified struggle for survival. At the cemetery, in an abandoned factory, in an asylum, in a landfill, in places full of sorrow, our heroes search for love and togetherness. By combining documentary material, animation and acting interpretation of the thoughts of our heroes, we get to know lives between disappointment and hope, quite similar to ours.

The World According to Koreeda Hirokazu(en)
2013-02-18
The cinema of Koreeda Hirokazu is defined by moments of everyday life. Whatever potential there is for heightened drama – the suicide of a husband, a cult massacre, abandoned children – it is diffused by the familiar rhythms of everydayness. This attention to the everyday must be understood within the context of death, which plays a significant role in all of Koreeda’s films. It is death that deepens our sense of life and makes even the most mundane moment seem profound.

On Cuauhtémoc Avenue, near the intersection with Reforma Street, a trio of musicians arrives—members of a fara-fara group. They wear their hats, shirts, belts, pants, and boots. They play the accordion, the bajo sexto, and the tololoche. However, they play for a city dominated by traffic, cars, honking horns, and people rushing from one place to another—a constant movement brought on by urban life, in a space filled with buildings and concrete.
