A scene from Anais Huerta and Raul Cuesta's Rehje. Much ado about working woman.
By Ed Rampell
I suppose that co-directors and co-producers Anais Huerta and Raul Cuesta’s Rehje is a worthy documentary about a displaced female worker from Mexico’s countryside who is uprooted and goes to the big city. But the doc’s protagonist is not compelling, nor is the story eventful. The countryside isn’t particularly picturesque either. A few of the film’s scenes are stylishly shot, but overall, this is an old fashioned, conventional documentary in terms of form and content.
To tell you the truth, this was a dull doc and not really worth going out of one’s way to see, unless one is particularly obsessed with Mazahua’s natives.
The Los Angeles Film Festival is screening Rehje 2:30 p.m., June 25, at The Regent.
