This 90s Mexico City Story Just Got a Big Break – And We Love the Aesthetic
- A Cannes favorite finds a home.
- 90s vibes in Mexico City.
- Why we are excited about this debut.
Finally, some news about that movie everyone was talking about at Cannes! We just found out that ‘Six Months in a Pink and Blue Building’ is coming to North America. Strand Releasing just picked it up. This is a huge deal for a debut film.
The story takes us back to Mexico City in the early 1990s. We follow an 11-year-old boy finding his way. It sounds sweet, raw, and very real. While some actors like Ravi Kishan are making us laugh with their silent vows, this movie is all about heart.
As art grads, we are obsessed with the vibe of this project. The title alone tells you everything. Pink and blue. The aesthetic is so specific to that era. It feels like a vintage photograph coming to life. It’s a nice break from the scary news like Perez Hilton being hospitalized recently.
Director Bruno Santamaria Razo really captured something special here. After Disney’s big wins with Toy Story lately, it is refreshing to see an indie film get the spotlight. We need more stories like this on our screens. Simple stories. Big emotions.
Our Take
We think this movie is going to be a visual treat. The colors of Mexico City in the 90s are iconic. It’s not just a movie; it feels like a piece of art. We can’t wait to see those pink and blue walls on the big screen soon!
