Getting sucked into an infinite loop of drugs, men and dizzying mystery? That’s one cure for writer’s block! Frolicking and squabbling across the beaches, clubs, and rooftops of Mexico, Sebastián Silva and Jordan Firstman play hilarious versions of themselves in this absurd and sexy meta-comedy.
The classic tale of clueless youths seeking hallucinogenic euphoria gets a funky twist in Sebastián Silva’s Sundance-winning road trip through the majestic plains of Chile. As American tourists caught in a battle of will, Michael Cera and Gaby Hoffmann are equal parts discomfiting and hilarious.
Sebastián Silva assembles a winning ensemble cast for this, his fifth feature: a film about many things at once—pregnancy, gentrification—but most of all something more complicated, frequently, and fascinatingly elusive. A surprising film that builds and builds to a truly killer, knockout ending.
