I Promise You Anarchy
New Directors/New Films 2016
March 16 - 27, 2016
An ecstatic and anguished vision of 21st-century youth replete with garishly lit sex scenes, inebriated slow-motion, and an exhilarating, eclectic pop soundtrack, Julio Hernández Cordón’s festival hit follows hard-living skater-bros/hustlers/lovers Miguel and Johnny as they flow inevitably toward a sea swimming with narco-sharks in Mexico City.
Miguel (Diego Calva) and Johnny (Eduardo Eliseo Martinez) are in deep. Badass skater-bros, crazy-in-love blood hustlers, they’re flowing inevitably toward a sea swimming with narco-sharks. This is Mexico City today, and for two boys from different worlds but the same house—Johnny is the son of Miguel’s family maid—there is no future. On the days they do have at their disposal, they will live as hard as they can, even if it means total destruction for everyone around them. A harrowing vision of the 21st century replete with garishly lit sex scenes, inebriated slow motion, and an exhilarating, eclectic pop soundtrack, and winner of numerous prizes at festivals in Latin America, Julio Hernández Cordón’s film is exploding with beats, sweat, and pain—an ecstatic and anguished portrait of youth teetering on the brink of nihilism.
