Issa Lopez -Tigers are not Afraid of the Dark

Issa Lopez delivers a film , now streaming on Shudder that will in parts crawl inside or just be absorbed , a young cast who are accomplished , honest and natural Estrella played by Paola Lara makes you feel each strand of loss and abandon , and El Shine she meets who is so succinctly played by Juan Ramon Lopez each and every cast member gives something , so much so that there time on film is not wasted.

When it comes to production I don’t think you could ask for more, Juan Jose Saravia handles the cinematography in a way that like in a documentary you live it fully, underpinned by Vince Popes score that steers , aligns but but never overwhelm.

This truly is 10/10 film and I look forward to what Issa does next

Julian Herbert – McDonald’s

 

Never fall in love 1 kilo

ground beef.

Never fall in love with the table set,

from meats, vessel

she kissed insistent mouth

iced tangerine, powder:

Instant.

Never fall in love with this

love powder, cough

Life of a name (Ana,

Claudia Tania: does not matter,

die every name), a flame

drowning. Never fall in love

another sonnet.

Never fall in love with blue stockings,

blue veins of below average,

thigh meat, that

meat as superficial.

Never fall in love with the cook.

But you’ll never fall in love, too,

either,

Sunday football, fast food,

nothing in mind but the ropes as cots.

Never fall in love with death,

his lust maid

your dog cruelty,

Touch your midwife.

Never fall in love in hotels,

simple past, paper

letterhead, porn movies,

in fulminating eyes celestial graves

clandestine speak in boleros, carrying

Denis de Rougemont.

The speed, in alcohol,

in Beatrice,

in the pan:

never fall for 1 kilo of ground beef.

Never.

No.

*

and in original text

 

Nunca te enamores de 1 kilo

de carne molida.

Nunca te enamores de la mesa puesta,

de las viandas, de los vasos

que ella besaba con boca de insistente

mandarina helada, en polvo:

instantánea.

Nunca te enamores de este

polvo enamorado, la tos

muerta de un nombre (Ana,

Claudia, Tania: no importa,

todo nombre morirá), una llama

que se ahoga. Nunca te enamores

del soneto de otro.

Nunca te enamores de las medias azules,

de las venas azules debajo de la media,

de la carne del muslo, esa

carne tan superficial.

Nunca te enamores de la cocinera.

Pero nunca te enamores, también,

tampoco,

del domingo: futbol, comida rápida,

nada en la mente sino sogas como cunas.

Nunca te enamores de la muerte,

su lujuria de doncella,

su sevicia de perro,

su tacto de comadrona.

Nunca te enamores en hoteles, en

pretérito simple, en papel

membretado, en películas porno,

en ojos fulminantes como tumbas celestes,

en hablas clandestinas, en boleros, en libros

de Denis de Rougemont.

En el speed, en el alcohol,

en la Beatriz,

en el perol:

nunca te enamores de 1 kilo de carne molida.

Nunca.

No.

 

ROBERTO BOLAÑO – LISA

When Lisa told me she had made ​​love
Another, in the life of that phone booth
Tepeyac store , I thought the world
He had for me. A tall skinny guy and
With long hair and a long dick that did not wait
Over an appointment to penetrate to the bottom.
There is something serious , she said , but
The best way to get you out of my life.
Parmenides Garcia Saldana had long hair and had
Been the lover of Lisa , but some
Years later I learned that he had died in a psychiatric clinic
Or that he had committed suicide . Lisa and I did not want
Go to bed with losers. Sometimes I dream
With her and see her happy and cold in Mexico
Designed by Lovecraft. We listen to music
( Canned Heat , one of the preferred groups
Parmenides Garcia Saldana ) and then we
Love three times . The first came inside me
The second came in my mouth and the third , just a thread
Water , a short fishing line, between my breasts. And all
In two hours, said Lisa . The two worst hours of my life,
I said from the other side of the phone.

Mario Bojorquez – Award

As the last day does not return
You’ll never be that high voice
Tundía under the breath of infinite almonds
A lullaby to his chest
You will not have to be that
That shade of a poplar
Rent the air with scattered notes
The subtle scent of an afternoon on the river
There will be no day you return to your expense
Filled with memories of the dark obsequious
Solar excessive idleness
Cerns perfect
As the last day does not return
You never on your own steps
A walking path open for you
In the garden that keeps your memory
Not even in deserted Frond you will have to tread
To you because transit between fig fruit
Pomegranates, flowers at your feet
You’re just now that you did not want
You’re the one who did not know what he wanted to say
Greedy mouth no fruit chews
That spoiled, bitch, feast and festival
You’re the insaciado looking with envy
The overwhelming joy of others
Whoever hurts to the bone for the innocent laughter
It will cloud your eyes with anger
It will swell cruel hands remorse
It poisons your blood
What fire, what abandonment
How miserable are the shores of life
As the last day does not return
No back in you will concoct bells
Holidays in flowered fields
Neither your hands browned wheat of eras
Nor whiten your snow on your mill
As if you had closed universe
In a thick fog that prevents you
Learn what the rock crevice
That must be the source where you drink
As if the universe against you
Injected into the air that poison
Bending your knees
So as the day turns
A spin on its hinges hours and passes
And overhead the sun will go down
Lost to
So you lose
So as you lose you lose
The scent in the air that always blows hard
You’ll miss so terribly
That to your eyes can recognize your own skin
Neither your ears hear your voice
As if talking on another that you
Not even your blood
It will respond pálpito
And the tongue utter
A language that is unknown to you today.

Do not grieve

Hurt to lose.
You call Bitter, in your gums
It will bloom a garden of tree-scale
And in your head start seborrhea high tufts
Niagara mist in your eyes
You call without reproach wounded
The living skin ulcer land where you step
Without faith you call
And there will be another you
Built in penalty
That round will infect
Leprosy is righteous
It must distinguish in the market
The mob cried
He will announce you arrive
The stench of your acids
The clear bell is anticipated
And you wondered why back
Why and what
And what return
If the return would smell bouquets awaiting your step
If yes minor fronds fruit curds, cheerful blooms, light concrete and acid,
And back with an army of sources nymphs dancing for you
If I go back in the water, ductile, light, fluent, if in the air
If you awaken in the back you are, if you come back spin, spinning, start from yourself
If you become, if you founded back, come back without hesitation
Although recent days should not happen again

Jose Guadalupe Posada

Suppose we were chaff, that was lying about
When a very small whirlwind brushed us to the sky,
And then at the moment when we sailed highest,
A wind that was stronger blew us apart…

posada

Goodbye little brothers,
Dear parents, farewell
Here my sins end,
I have no more to tell.
