Grim and powerful social realist drama set in Mexico City, lives of impoverished youths (and adults) particularly well caught, with the odd surreal moment.
Throwing egg into camera noticeable amongst other directorial effects. Good music (Rodolfo Halffter and Gustavo Pittaluga) and photography (Gabriel Figueroa). Incredibly ironic ending - murdered boy thrown away into garbage - one of the most memorable of all film endings, in fact.
Estela Inda, Miguel Inclan, Alfonso Mejia, Roberto Cobo (almost an Adrien Brody type), Alma Delia Fuentes, Mario Ramirez (lost boy).
Wondered if it was the influence on Cidada de Deus?
