A brooding painter leaves Mexico City for a remote canyon where he plans to commit suicide in this 2002 film. After taking up lodging with an elderly widow, the two traverse the strange space between tradition and modernity, violence and serenity, and companionship and sexuality in this stunning meditation on nature and human frailty. Carlos Reygadas' first major feature film, "Japón" marks not only his emergence onto the international art cinema stage but also a turning point in contemporary Mexican cinema at large.This film is presented in conjunction with the exhibition "Frida & Diego: Passion, Politics and Painting." General Admission: $7 Seniors/Students (with ID): $6
