Pelea de gallos (2004)
I usually look favorably upon most expressionism.
This was a quite enjoyable short. I had heard that 'Pelea De Gallos' had won some awards, but I was still skeptical, foreign films and all. I had no idea of the budget that the crew worked with. For an extremely low budget student short this movie was excellent. I found it to be comical and dramatic with a few action sequences. The story was so well written that it could have been made into a full length feature. I look forward to seeing more Joel Juarez Sanchez films, he is extremely talented. Take the effort to search this film out and watch it with your buddies. It has a contemporary feel to it. There are Quentin Tarantino like sequences. Very high quality film, not choppy or grainy look or feel. Sanchez has taken the best of everyone and incorporated their styles into his own. Very cool.
