Sex, Drugs, Rock And Roll In The Fabulous Extended Trailer For Gritty Mexican Indie Drama MACHETE LANGUAGE

Though he makes his feature debut with Machete Language, writer-director Kyzza Terrazas already occupies an interesting space within the Mexican film scene. The former head of development at Canana - the production company founded by Gael Garcia Bernal - the Kenyan born Terrazas is a published author who wrote the script for Bernal's directorial feature Deficit while also serving as an executive producer on acclaimed titles such as Drama / Mex and Voy A Explotar. For his own debut Terrazas cast Mexican punk rock icon Jessy Bulbo and actor, musician and painter Andres Almeida (Y Tu Mama Tambien) for a gritty story of a pair of counter culture activists finding themselves caught between youth and adulthood as they hit their thirties.

Ray and Ramona are a young couple. They hate injustice of the social context they are part of. Each from their own niche - Ramona as a musician, Ray as an activist - try to fight for a more just world. Devoted to self-sabotage, Ray fails in his rebellion and drags Ramona into a downward spiral that culminates in an act of poetic terrorism.

A brief teaser for the film appeared online a few weeks back but with Machete Language now slated to premiere at the Venice Film Festival, ScreenAnarchy is proud to premiere an absolutely fantastic extended and English subtitled trailer. Take a look below.
