Battle in Heaven

Directed by Carlos Reygadas

At Cannes 2005, the latest film from Reygadas (also JAPÓN) divided critics and audiences, universally stirring controversy for its use of non-professional actors, explicit sexual content, flashes of violence and stunning imagery. A middle-aged couple kidnap a child, but when things go bad, the husband turns to his powerful boss’ daughter to assuage his guilt. But she has a few guilty secrets of her own.
