To a growing number of Mexicans and Latinos in the Americas, narco traffickers have become iconic outlaws and the new models of fame and success. They represent a pathway out of the ghetto - a new form of the American Dream, fueled by the war on drugs. NARCO CULTURA looks at this explosive phenomenon from within; cycles of addiction to money, drugs and violence that are rapidly gaining strength on both sides of the US/Mexican border.
Leave your thoughts about Narco Cultura.
| The A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyIf it weren’t for "The Act Of Killing," Narco Cultura would be the year’s queasiest documentary. The film — which counterposes Quintero’s day-to-day life with that of Richi Soto, a crime-scene investigator in Juarez — is both an unflinching record of Mexico’s drug war and an investigation of how violence becomes unreal and glamorized. |
| RogerEbert.comSteven BooneJust over the Mexico/U.S. border from Juarez is El Paso, Texas, ranked the safest large city in America three years in a row now. The question that that fact begs is in part why this film is a quietly subversive masterpiece. |
| VarietyGeoff BerkshireNarco Cultura is as overwhelming as it is absorbing. |
| Village VoiceErnest HardySchwarz's juxtaposition of the human cost of the drug war alongside the glamorization of its henchmen and their brutality is sobering, even depressing. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovNarco Cultura smartly and movingly focuses on the cultural cycle of violence, beginning with a young, Los Angeles-based rapper, Edgar Quintero, whose main job is penning lyrics celebrating the orgiastically violent lifestyles of the drug thugs for his band Buknas de Culiacán. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerInterviewed in the film, Juárez journalist Sandra Rodriguez offers up this grim summation: “That these people represent the ideal of success, impunity, and limitless power is symptomatic of how defeated we are as a society.” |
| Miami HeraldRene RodriguezNarco Cultura isn’t a documentary about runaway crime: Its actual subject is far stranger. |
| NOW TorontoRadheyan SimonpillaiThe Mexican drug wars have claimed approximately 60,000 lives in the last six years. You can purchase the soundtrack on iTunes. |
| FilmDrunkVincent ManciniFascinating, bizarre, and beautifully shot, but if I have one criticism, it's that I feel like I left with more questions than answers. Maybe it's the material, maybe it's the messenger, probably it's both. Either way, it's a must-watch. |
| NPR's Fresh AirJohn PowersAt first, I feared that Schwarz was doing something worthy but obvious: showing how narcocorrido songs and movies make people rich by falsifying the horrific reality of the drug biz. But gradually you realize that things aren't so simple. |
