Who is Carlos Reygadas?
Carlos Reygadas is a Mexican filmmaker known for the four films Japón, Batalla en el Cielo, Luz Silenciosa, and Post Tenebras Lux. Owing to Batalla, he has become somewhat notorious for the raw depiction of sex and the physically unflattering use of actors.
Reygadas' films explore spirituality and the sublime through the interior lives of men suffering existential crises. He has shot all but one of his films in CinemaScope. With Silent Light, Reygadas competed once more for the Palme d'Or at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival, and has become one of the most prominent writer–directors of modern Mexican cinema.
Martin Scorsese called Silent Light "A surprising picture, and a very moving one as well."
Reygadas received the award for Best Director at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival for his film Post Tenebras Lux.
