Awesome Movie

Admirable film.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Miguel Coyula's film Red Cockroaches is something that is not for everyone, but for myself, it is one of the greatest surreal films I have seen to date. Besides the fact that the film is a tour de force of no-budget cinema, it is an involving and engrossing story that leaves more questions than answers for its audience when the ending credits stop rolling. The history of these characters is shrouded in mystery and dangerous secrets which makes the confrontations between each of them all the more memorable, adding to the drama and complexity of their relationships. Though there were parts I was completely confused on why they were in the film, these parts were far and few between. However, several of these instances were made clear and their place was justified after several viewings of the film. Red Cockroaches has a place of special attention on my shelf and Miguel's next film I am certain will even be greater than what I have just reviewed.

The obvious similarities: sound effects borrowed from blade runner. The advertisements for the off-world colonies playing in the background.The subtle: the brother and sister falling in love before realizing they're related. Yet, somehow, i don't think they are related (father was a scientist for DNA21... perhaps doing some experiments with his own offspring), but they did grow up together... it's complicated. Definitely not as simple as: they're brother and sister, it's incest. Anyway, that reminds me of blade runner because, in the directors cut of BR you might get the idea that Harrison Ford's character (Deckard) is a replicant like Rachel, and probably of the same generation (nexus 6), thus sharing a lot of the same genetic material, practically brother and sister.Anyway, forget all about Blade Runner the movie, think more along the lines of the style of author Philip K. Dick. This is a thought-provoking movie. Shocking, funny, silly, scary... sometimes predictable and/or badly acted, but never dull.It'll be interesting to see what this director does in the future.

While certainly not for mainstream tastes, this feature debut by Miguel Coyula is outstanding from almost every point of view. Forget the $2000 budget. I really don't care when filmmakers say "Oh I had a very small budget, so please excuse the poor quality of my film" Not the case here. The filmmaker has created a strange menacing cinematic world saturated with lurid colours and moody soundtrack.Of course, this alone wouldn't be enough to sustain a movie. The story deals with a convoluted case of incest. It is essentially a movie that manages to turn a disturbing story into a fascinating (and even erotic) study of the human psyche. The influence of David Lynch is obvious as it is full of moments of "high weirdness" but Coyula's vision and sensibilities are unique. I'm sure he'll make great films in the future (that is if he's not seduced by Hollywood).A must see if you are into "strange" films. Many will leave the theatre wondering what the hell happened but I can assure you it wont leave you indifferent.

Red Cockroaches is a freakish, bizarre, avant-garde-ish science fiction/thriller about forbidden love and mutants. Yeah, it's odd, but it's incredibly captivating. The acting is exquisite, the directing divine, and the cinematography is absolutely splendid. The most interesting thing about it? It was shot on a budget of $0 as a labor of love from award winning Cuban filmmaker Miguel Coyula.
