In broad daylight, a female executive is attacked and killed by a strange bird at the center of a modern city. An angelic and innocent looking young woman casually gets involved in the murder. Right away, a persecution begins including different characters that raise issues as transcendent as violence in the contemporary world, public insecurity, and the great need of productive investment in developing countries with an absurd angle and an important satiric content. Behind the anecdote, the film proposes an acute reflection on split personalities, youthful times that can stubbornly reappear, the contemporary relationship between young people and adults. Starting from a complex network, “The Bird of Comala” fuses together time and space, past and present, the local and the global. Real characters that interact with fantastic characters produce a strange oneiric effect that allows multiple readings and interpretations from the audience. Thus, the reference to the classic of the Magical Realism to which this film pays tribute: the novel “Pedro Páramo” by the Mexican writer Juan Rulfo states its presence from the film’s title. A surprising, unexpected end makes the film more disturbing. |
