Mexican filmmaker Carlos Reygadas was named best director at last month’s Cannes Film Festival for his personal, surrealist movie, “Post Tenebras Lux.”
The unconventional motion picture was met with boos at its screening, but Reygadas said “it flatters me that a good portion of the press don’t like it. It’s not my aim to to please the greatest number of people possible.”
Born in Mexico City in 1971, Reygadas was previously honored at the prestigious French festival in 2007, when he was awarded the Panel of Judges’ Prize for “Luz silenciosa.”
