## Description

A multiple award winner and 2008 Cannes Film Festival selection, Amat Escalante's Los Bastardos "looks and sounds very impressive" (Variety), and makes an indeliby disturbing impact. Like the rest of the day-labouring migrant workers who gather together each morning on a southwesten American strip mall sidewalk, Jesus and Fausto struggle to get ahead in El Norte. But when a callous gringo boss strands them in the middle of a community that exploits them one minute and insults them the next, the two young men cock their sawed off shotgun and calmy take a troubled housewife hostage in her own home. Los Bastardos plumbs the depths of human brutality with the same cool cinematic ceritude as the works of Michael Haneke.

    A Gulf of Resentment that can Never be Bridged.
  

*by B***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 February 2012*

This low budget film puts a lot of big Hollywood productions to shame. Mexican director Amat Escalante uses that spare minimalistic style so beloved by budget filmmakers often out of sheer necessity. He challenges our usual perceptions of movies with his opening scene of the two central characters walking down a Los Angeles storm drain kicking a football. The initial reaction is one of bewilderment. What on earth is all this all about, you mutter to yourself? Is the director trying to send us to sleep before the film even begins? Strangely though it is a scene you remember, which is maybe the point being made. This is a story of the haves and the have nots. The haves are the f*****g gringos, as the illegal immigrant Mexican workers affectionately refer to the wealthy white Americans. The whites that mercilessly exploit the cheap Mexican labour that floods across the border despite Americas efforts to contain it. It is soon very clear who the title is referring to. The gulf between the societies creates a gulf of resentment that can never be bridged.We follow the two characters as they break into an affluent gringo home and hold the woman inside hostage. We later find they are being paid to kill the woman by an ex husband. Given the class and racial hatred festering inside the men this is a job that they are happy to carry out, but not before they indulge in a few simple pleasures, like using the swimming pool and feasting on microwave TV dinners. The abrupt ending is shocking in its finality. The film is smartly co-written by Escalante and his brother Martin, to highlight social inequalities that exist in modern America. It is scathing and visceral, and at times it can be very disturbing in its depiction of the sudden violence that can erupt from such despair. It is a film that may have you gnashing your teeth in frustration or delighting in its subversive techniques, but either way it is a film that demands a strong reaction from you. Are we any better in the UK in the way that cheap labour from abroad is exploted? The truthful answer has to be no. It is always the poor that reap the whirlwind of course! You see, Escalante already has a convert in me! It is not a film you can easily warm to, but it is one that challenges you and as such is a compelling piece of filmmaking. Typical of such work, it wears the cloak of obscurity, and is little seen. A pity because it deserves better!

    It's 18 for a reason.
  

*by S***H on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 August 2018*

There's a point you get to in this movie where you might well wonder where it's all going and start to look at your phone etc. But be ready, something is definitely coming haha. That thing made the movie for me. Wow.

    Los Bastardos lingers
  

*by F***O on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 May 2012*

Audacious, unique and riveting. This film will screech in your mind for days. Because of obvious 'Art House sensibilities' this is not for everyone, but its not long. Be patient  and open-minded. I can't stop thinking about it.
