I'm so excited to see Miss Bala after watching this crackling trailer. The film tells the story of a young woman desperately clinging to her dream of becoming a beauty queen in a Mexico dominated by organized crime.
What draws me to this is the juxtaposition (I hate that word juxtaposition, by the way, it's one of those lazy film student words) of beauty pageants and Mexican crime. I'm sure the thematic link between the images is explored more in the film.
When the names Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna as Executive Producers appeared on the screen, I giggled. To think of those two handsome devils from Y Tu Mama Tambien as executive anything is a stretch, but it's awesome that they are behind this film so it finds US distribution.
The song in the trailer is This Ain't No Hymn by Saint Saviour.
