Memories of the Future

Overview

A woman writes increasingly passionate love letters without answer. Her passion and frustration are interwoven with a sense of impending doom, a vision of the coming Mexican apocalypse. A single personal tragedy mirrors the struggle of an entire country trying, in the midst of increasing chaos, to find itself. Shot during months on the backroads of Mexico, director Rodrigo Reyes has crafted an idiosyncratic and visceral x-ray of his homeland.
