Carlos Reygadas’ Batalla en el Cielo Attracts Attention

The director, who was accompanied by Bertha, one of the actors in the film, defended his decision to make films that are true to reality. When asked weather he saw his characters as monsters, Reygadas replied: “Here is the monster in the film,” pointing to Bertha. “I’ll let her answer.”

“I’m really happy with my body,” the robust actress responded. “In real life, most Mexican women are short, plump, and have dark skin.”
