I’m on my way to an Ides of March party that starts at 7 pm and then another one for the Weinstein Co.’s The Artist, but I have to at least paste a couple of tweets about Gerado Naranjo‘s Miss Bala, which I missed in Cannes but finally saw today. Tweet #1: “If Michelangelo Antonioni had made a movie about a Mexican beauty queen grappling with drug gangsters, the result might have been Miss Bala.” Tweet #2: “Naranjo has totally ignored the chaotic action aesthetic of Michael Bay & acolytes, and delivered an action thriller with a truly elegant visual style. Long shots and almost no cut-cut-cut-cuting.”
