Parres III

About This Movie

Parres III is an intriguing exploration of a town that feels almost ghostly, situated just outside Mexico City. The documentary captures this place in fragments, almost like a fleeting memory, the kind that leaves you pondering. The pacing is contemplative, with long takes that let you soak in the atmosphere. The filmmaker's choice to clean the screen's paintwork feels like a metaphor, suggesting a desire to uncover hidden stories beneath the surface. The series as a whole is a bit unconventional, with its three videos offering different slices of this town's essence. It’s less about a clear narrative and more about evoking a sense of place and time. Definitely worth a look for those into the poetic side of documentary filmmaking.
