Light Of Darkness

****

Reviewed by: Trinity

Light Of Darkness takes a look at Mexico's bourgeouis middle classes and their different attitudes: by seeing two aspiring couples try to outdo each other at a dinner party.

It's a broadly comedic, sometimes raucous affair as Gerardo, who works for Beautiful People magazine, and Elena try and persuade Elena's friend Ana Maria and her fiancee Rodrigo to feature their upcoming wedding in the magazine. Each person ends up confounding the others' perceptions of them and when the lights go out in a power cut, suddenly the situation and relationship between all of them is illuminated.

A great cast and some great lines combine to show what happens when beautiful people get wasted.
