Sometimes we receive bizarre things from Netflix.

Japon

An artist arrives at a remote Mexican village intending to commit suicide. Instead, he develops an unusual relationship with Aspen, the elderly woman who gives him lodging. Together with Ferretis, Flores and one, uh, sexually obsessed horse, director Carlos Reygadas creates a ruggedly beautiful portrait of rural Mexico (with the mountain landscape serving as the main character).

To recap:

– empty threats of suicide from drama queen
– sexual tension with grannies and horses
– innovative character development
– rugged beauty
– movie name (Japon=Japan) apparently unconnected to story

Who could ask for anything more?
