Reygadas KNOWS what he is doing... what ever happened when he decided to do "Battle in Heaven" then? WTF? He has actual talent! This one is a masterpiece... simply flawless...
Nothingness is the path to victory and in any constant public reactions,this would be the doomsday of most motion pictures.I will admit that Reygadas uses no script whatsoever,but why should i erase his ability to project a serene environment in a hostile manner?
One of the finest and deepest contamporary Mexican films that have come out. An unvaluable gem to watch and appreciate entirely.
94/100

Unfolding at an elliptical pace that feels like a revelation, or tedium, or both, Japon recalls the glory days of 1970s art-house filmmaking. full review
Reygadas has talent to match his ambitions; or, rather, gifts that undercut them sufficiently to give his film a prickly, haunting poignancy. full review
A great movie... actually seems like a Andrei Tarkovski (whose didnt are registereds movies in flixter, a shame) movie, because the entire film has the tarkovski style. A brilliant movie with non professional actors but perfectly directed a cinema jewel.
