About This Movie

Uno por 5, 3 por diez is quite the intriguing piece, a video-performance that dives into the heart of informal commerce in Mexico City. The way Melquíades Herrera captures the hustle and bustle is both chaotic and oddly poetic. You get this raw glimpse into the daily lives of street vendors and the cleverness of the merolicos. It's really about the creativity that springs from necessity. The pacing feels almost like wandering through a vibrant market, encountering various characters and their strange wares that are more than just items—they're stories. The atmosphere is thick with the colors and sounds of the city, making it feel immersive. Definitely a unique look at urban life, though it might not be for everyone.
