“Gods of Mexico” is a mesmerizing look at modern life lived primitively. The pace of the movie captures the stretched out time it takes to do hard work with basic tools. Far from being boring, the pace created the impulse in me to wash dishes more slowly and also put away Christmas decorations with mindfulness. There were multiple scenarios depicted – from the collection of salt to card games played deep underground in a mine. Human characteristics were on display and I felt both empathetic and impressed with such lives lived fully in their way.
The cinematography was gorgeous and there was no dialogue. The humans depicted were beautiful and vibrant and the settings were awe-inspiring. “Gods of Mexico” will take you out of modern life for a very satisfying 96 minutes and you return renewed and revitalized.
