Historia
Juan and his family move from the city to the countryside seeking a simple life. They settle in an ostentatious house among humble neighbors. Initially enjoying rural life, cracks begin to appear in Juan's marriage with Natalia due to their differing adaptation. Juan starts attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings led by Seven at a ramshackle cabin in the woods. The couple later goes on an upscale sex holiday in Europe while their children, Eleazar and Rut, embrace country life freely.
Resumen
Post Tenebras Lux is a deeply unsettling yet breathtakingly beautiful drama directed by Carlos Reygadas, which won Best Director at Cannes. The film explores the tension between urban and rural worlds through the eyes of Juan and his family as they attempt to reconcile their contrasting lifestyles and ideals. It's cinema 'without rules,' according to MUBI, offering a unique stylization that can be divisive among viewers.
