The new film from Carlos Reygadas, the Mexican master of transcendent, elemental cinema, is premiering at the 64th New York Film Festival in October 2026.
Amidst crashing waves and monumental rocks on a distant coast, two young couples open up a realm of shifting realities. Unbeknownst to them, a mysterious entity watches from high above with Godlike judgment. Between these spaces exists a world balanced on the edge of the modern and the primitive, the high-tech and the rural, the corporeal and the mythic. This dreamlike astonishment from Carlos Reygadas (Silent Light, NYFF45) is a work of feral cinematic expression, splendid in its elemental pleasures, which exist in profound and challenging contrast to its depiction of authoritarian brutality.
