I think: good movie.

Paul Leduc (dir.) - What Do You Think? (¿Cómo ves?) 1985, 49 min. DVD SPANISH 300 WHA
The library has been getting a lot of good movies lately (and even more terrible terrible movies). I'm sort of conflicted about what I think of the allocation of library resources to so many DVDs, many of which have no merit whatsoever. But they have, so I think we all have to make the most of it.
I picked up What Do You Think? And took it out because it seemed like it might be about punks. Also because the director had made a movie about Frida Kahlo, and one based on John Reed's Insurgent Mexico. Set in Mexico City, What Do You Think? Has punks in it, although there is a lot of music in it and the bands are not punk bands. It also has scenes of industrial desolation and factories (making sheet glass in one, lime in another) juxtapozed with a song about the singer hating his job and quitting. There is a dream like procession of little kids in lucha masks beating on drums. Lots of poverty and shanties, lots of violence (including sexual assault), punks stealing a cop car and hijacking a plane (that's still on the ground) seemingly to have a party with a live band. There is a cool scene in a gay bar featuring Tito Vasconcelos, a famous gay activist in Mexico and legendary cabaret performer (interesting article from google books here from the book Corpus delecti : performance of the Americas by Coco Fusco, which is available from the U of Calgary library NX501 .C67 2000). Paul Leduc has directed a number of other films with Vasconcelos in them which look interesting (notably Dollar Mambo, a film with no dialog about the U.S. Invasion of Panama). So, definitely a worthwhile film. Very stylish and stylized. Not really a plot, more a tragectory. Also note, the DVD case says the film is 75 minutes but its really 49.
