Abstract
A hyper-realistic journey into the abyss of contemporary Mexican society, which Luis Buñuel would inaugurate with the premiere of The Forgotten in 1950, where poverty, evil and a disturbance, very naturalistic strangeness intermingled. In this paper, a selection of uncomfortable and transgressive films by Amat Escalante and Carlos Reygadas will be analyzed, in which pathological realism predominates, through narratives close to the bitter and implausible. Feature films that exhibit repressed desires, violence, impunity, and corruption. Blemishes and obsessions that current Mexico unfortunately suffers, in which both authors express themselves in a portentous and critical way towards these plagues. Finally, productions that evoke a poetic and incisive look at the various problems of the North American country.
