GÜEROS

This plucky and effortlessly cool black-and-white film from newcomer Alonso Ruiz Palacios follows three restless teens during the student strikes of 1999. Federico and Santos are roommates in Mexico City, students “on strike from the strike” now that their university has been shut down, when Federico’s brother Tomás arrives. Looking to kill some time and their boredom, they hit the streets of the city looking for famed folk-rocker Epigmenio Cruz, who once allegedly made Bob Dylan cry. Best First Feature Award, 2014 Berlin Film Festival; Best Cinematography, Special Jury Mention for Best New Narrative Director, 2014 Tribeca Film Festival.
