'Broken Sky'
In a lovely "Broken Sky," three men struggle with passion and the ups and downs of romance.
By Kevin Thomas, Special to The Times
Julián Hernández's beautiful "Broken Sky" is that increasing rarity, a film that is fully realized visually. Keeping dialogue at a minimum, Hernández and inspired cinematographer Alejandro Cantú create a constant interplay between light and shadow, movement and stillness, dramatic spaces of architectural grandeur and intimate enclosures to evoke the ever-shifting emotions of an all-consuming first love.
"Broken Sky" is as much choreographed as it is directed, and its actors' movements, gestures and expressions verge on those of dance. The film is as formal in structure as it is romantic in its sweep, yet it's a very disciplined work; never is visual flourish merely for its own effect but to express the turbulent emotions of its young lovers, which are in turn underlined by an evocative selection of pop music.
