Review

From the director of Broken Sky (El cielo dividido) comes this passionately symbolic exploration about love, sex and destiny. Kieri and Ryo, two young and handsome Mexican men have an unquestioning love for each other; a love that gives meaning to their lives and is expressed through intense sexual bonding. But when Ryo is abducted, Kieri begins a journey to find his soul mate while under the watchful eye of a female spirit named Corazón del cielo (Heaven’s heart). She leads and protects the lovers on their quest to reunite. But the journey is not an easy one and when Ryo escapes, a chain of events will test the lovers’ devotion to each other.

Praised by the Teddy Jury for "its masterful cinematography and its visionary use of color and sound - for its explorations of love, desire and sexuality within the framework of ancient mythology, juxtaposed with modern urbanity," Raging Sun, Raging Sky is a visually stunning ode to the power of desire and unconditional love.

Oh groan, another one

CharlesB wrote on 08/25/2010:

This is a film that had better play up the male nudity (what little there is of it) because that's about all it has going for it. What passes itself as an "art film" was, to this viewer, a drab, disconnected series of rambling scenes leading to no conclusion. And the naked boys aren't that hot. I wasted my money on this one.

“Raging Sun, Raging Moon” is a long film with a great deal of male nudity. There is not a lot of dialog or plot but it is visually beautiful. Ryo (Guillermo Villegas) is a confused young man who shuffles around Mexico City looking for love. He ends up at a run down cinema and meets the brutish Tari (Julian Olivari). It is in this cinema that sordid sexual encounters take place and reinforce those already held notions of society about gay people. Ryo also meets the good looking and sensitive Kier but he has a hard time shaking Tari off. What results is a conflict that is eventually resolved in an alternative reality which is controlled by a character named the Heart of Sky (Giovanna Zacarias).
Not a whole lot happens but there is a lot to see due the beautiful camera work of Alejandro Cantu. The colors are beautiful even though they are muted and the film seems to enter the stream of consciousness of the viewer. The themes of desire and rebirth are evident throughout and it is the artistic ambition of the director that gives this movie its uniqueness.
