We'll be re-posting my review from Sundance a little later on, but I felt this film deserved its own reminder post and so here I am reminding you that one of the best films from this year's Sundance Film Festival hits theaters today. From what I can tell -- and according to the Film in Focus website -- you can see Sin Nombre this weekend if you live in Hollywood, California (Arclight Cinema), Santa Monica, California (Laemmle Monica 4 Plex), Los Angeles (Land The Landmark), San Francisco (Kabuki 8 and Land Embarcadero Center) and New York City (Lincoln Plaza 6). On April 3rd, the film looks to be expanding to Chicago, Dallas, Cambridge, Pasadena and San Diego.
I like to call Sin Nombre a road trip romance thriller (or some variation of that), as it follows the stories of three teenagers on different paths, yet all of whom have the same goal: protecting their future. Most of the action takes place on the top of a train heading for the Mexican border, where hundreds of people gather in the hopes that they'll make it across and achieve a better life for themselves and their loved ones. Director Cary Fukunaga has crafted a beautiful film that's tragic yet hopeful, and so if you're looking to see something this weekend that's a tad off the beaten path then I seriously cannot recommend Sin Nombre enough. Watch the trailer below.

I can proudly say that I was there (at SXSW 2009 Austin's Paramount on March 15th, where by the way met Director Cary Joji Fukunaga a very calm, funny, charismatic and relaxed being) witnessing such a master piece from a first time film maker (third time if you include the shorts) with such a huge talent and great film making gift; from his first documentary "Victoria Para Chino" Cary demonstrated his unique mode of visualizing the new film making era and did a great job projecting it to focus features who ultimately believed and produced what we now have A REMARKABLE FILM about the FAR south Mexican (Mexico - Guatemala) border in-migrants never before revealed to the world with reality as Cary Fukunaga writer/director did.
