This Is My Kingdom

About This Movie

So, Este es mi reino, or This Is My Kingdom, is part of that 2010 anthology Revolución, which stirs up all kinds of reflections on the idea of revolution, specifically in the context of the Mexican Revolution. Reygadas' piece is almost meditative, with a slow burn that really lets the viewer sink into its atmosphere. The performances are raw, almost unrefined, adding to the authenticity of the experience. You can sense a deep connection to the themes of struggle and identity, woven throughout the different stories. Each segment is distinct yet feels part of a larger tapestry, capturing a spectrum of human emotion against a backdrop of historical context. Quite the interesting watch for collectors focused on narratives that challenge traditional storytelling.

This film exists within a niche anthology that might not be widely circulated, which adds an element of rarity to it. The physical media for Revolución can be a bit tricky to track down, especially if you're looking for specific editions or formats. Collectors seem to appreciate the distinct storytelling approach of Reygadas and the anthology format, making it a curious piece for those interested in thematic explorations of revolution and identity.
