Sundown

Sundown 2021

Sunset, shot by Michel Franco after the highly controversial Nuevo orden / New Order included in the 2021 Istanbul Film Festival program, made its premiere at the Venice Film Festival. Unlike New Deal, this story follows a wealthy man, a woman, and two teenagers vacationing in the idyllic Acapulco. To a certain extent, the holiday is quiet and enjoyable, until a news received disturbs the peace of the family. We realize that nobody and nothing is what it seems; As personal tensions rise, the social unrest that we are used to feeling in Michel Franco's films also comes to the surface in Sunset, which constantly surprises us with surprises.
