Ezban's magnificent movie.
22 November 2014 | by (Cabo San Lucas, México) – See all my reviews

Winner of the most amazingly bizarre and wonderful movie I've ever seen. Since always, the fact of time and how opportunities come and go seemed to be a mystery to me, not the definitions themselves - those are pretty clear- but how we spend them or, rather say, waste them.

Like Oliver's brother said, "we spend our lives waiting for the end of the day and another to come so we can end the stage where we are and it will finally get better; but when it comes, we realize that yesterday was much better and that, unfortunately, we can't return it". The Incident has left me with a very good taste, with so many questions but mostly a lot of answers; and with the beating conclusion that the moments are so fleeting that we must enjoy every single one, we don't know from what circumstances are our parallel "I's" coming through – an infinite railway, an endless road or a hall with no last– so we can stay where we're at.

Ezban is now one of my favorite persons in the world, I've had the pleasure to see him at the Cabo Film Fest and, what a paradox, I wasted the chance to take a picture with him. Anyways, this film is a representation of the sacrifices you have to do to live life as you've imagined it. Can't wait to see Isaac's future films, this one is from afar a pretty cool full of metaphors movie!
