Featured/FEATURES
Excellence in Acting honoree Gael Garcia Bernal's directing debut is infused with an infectious, youthful energy, voyeuristically following his complex characters at a house party just outside of Mexico City. A beautifully nuanced script, filled with ironic dialogue and situations, DEFICIT makes for a compelling portrayal of the state of Mexico today. In Spanish with English subtitles.
Featured/FEATURES
A disillusioned medical student is stranded for a summer in a remote community of counterculture pot farmers, the last place in the world he imagined he would discover himself.
