Review of Raging Sun, Raging Sky

For those with the ability to comprehend multi-dimensional chess, non-traditional narration, explicit gay themes, and the vision of one of the most extraordinary artistic directions in film today, the epic gay love story of Hernandez is worth the effort. Broken Sky elements permeate this latest vision. No one can film erotic skin quite the same way, and the love tune from Broken Sky even makes a cameo appearance in Enraged Sun, Enraged Sky, perhaps the director's homage to Hitchcock. The film, as previously noted, hints at Antonioni at his peak, Fellini as his most decadent, and even outdoes Almodovar as his most outrageous. Though some may claim that Hernandez is now out of control, quite the contrary: he has opened up his vision. We are now privy to some Aztec mythology about love surviving violence and death. Having first seen Hernandez's short film David about a mute boy's encounter one afternoon with an older man, I have found the threads and motifs throughout his work. If you want to know what it was like to enjoy the work of the greats while they lived and created, your chance is available with Julian Hernandez.
