Reviews for A Thousand Clouds Of Peace
Top CriticA Thousand Clouds of Peace is a difficult film, both in form and substance, but it's that form and substance that makes it worthwhile, raising it above the level of typical angsty gay art-house cinema.
04/16/04
Works principally as a mood piece, with the gorgeous cinematography doing much of the heavy lifting.
04/15/04
Top CriticHe suffers, we suffer - the end.
06/18/04
Combined with the careful posing, enigmatic action and flowery language, it all amounts to something less than an 80-minute Calvin Klein advertisement.
04/16/04
Love in the Time of Cholera this ain’t.
04/06/04
Hernandez's desire to utilize all the armaments of the filmmaker hits the viewer with a visceral force.
05/04/04
Top CriticEnduring this black-and-white mood piece from Mexico is like putting up with an acquaintance who drones on and on about the pain of an unrequited love.
04/15/04
Top CriticA thuddingly slow, often wordless portrait of emotional pain.
04/02/04
Top CriticIdea and technique are of some interest here, but, in the end, not enough.
04/12/04
A murky and morbid dirge of a gay romance set in Mexico City.
04/16/04
Top CriticAll the stylistic flourishes can't hide the lack of an actual plot, character development, or point.
04/13/04
Top CriticA sad, slow-moving tale, marked by literal as well as spiritual poverty.
08/08/04
A ponderous, quiet little mess that has nothing to say and no idea how to say it anyway.
07/03/04
If first-time writer-director Julian Hernandez lets his knotted narrative get away from him too often, he nevertheless shows a miraculous sense of style for a 31-year-old.
04/15/04
Mr. Hernández's attempt to put an interior landscape on film a la Pasolini may seem stultifying and pretentious, but it's also a brave dark experiment.
06/17/04
Top CriticA self-consciously arty piece that may be psychologically useful to its writer-director but is torture for its audience.
06/20/04
As pretentious and wispy as its title.
07/30/04
Top CriticJulián Hernández has ... a film that will remain in memory for along time for anyone who knows the ecstasy of early love suddenly dissolved by unaccountable abandonment.
07/31/04
Self-indulgent in the extreme, Julian Hernandez's laconic ode to heartbreak feels like the work of a lovelorn teenager.
