Scanning the FPB site a few days back, I couldn’t help peeking at the Global Film Blog. In his last post Sean Patrick Murphy deemed “Sin Nombre” the best film he has reviewed over the past year. I just happened to watch it over the holidays, and I can’t think of an equal. The flick is gritty (which seems to be a trend in Mexican cinema over of the past decade), but provides a powerful account of the dark underside of immigration. Also, the film demonstrates the immense insecurity of Mexico’s southern border, a topic of previous posts on this blog.
