Absolutely Tedious
In a rural community, the farmer Johannes “Johan” Voth (Cornelio Wall) is married with children with Esther (Miriam Toews). Johan is living a dilemma, since he has an affair with the merchant Marianne (Maria Pankratz) and they have fallen in love with each other. Johan seeks advice with his father and his best friend since he lives in a conservative community, but he does not end the love affair. Until the day Esther dies of broken heart.

“Stellet Licht” is among the most tedious films ever made. The director Carlos Reygadas makes a film using a short story (or the storyline only) with 145 minutes running time with an annoying slow pace. There is no development of the location and the viewer need to read to know that the story takes place at a Mennonite (a Christian group) community in Mexico. It takes 22 minutes to know that plot is about the love affair of Johan and his feeling of guilty with Esther and his children. The comparison of this director with Carl Dreyer or Andrei Tarkovsky is pretentious and laughable. My vote is three.
