Review: While viewing the film, you catch yourself thinking that, once again, look at the “picture” of someone else’s eyes. Before you is a movie with a particular Mexican overtones made Mexican, Mexicans and of Mexicans. This is where the mentality of the audience is the determining factor in the perception of art. In the last sentence, I’m sure many of whom happen to see this picture, do not agree, and I also wrote it, overcoming physiological aversion to provides the director Reygards psychedelic action “Battle in Heaven.”
