I Promise You Anarchy
At it's heart, a love story between two lost boys, ‘I Promise You Anarchy’ manages to be at once chilling and heart-rending.
Miguel, from a middle-class family, and Johnny, from a humble barrio, are skateboarders, best friends and lovers. To finance their lifestyle, they sell their own blood, and those of their gang of skateboarders and acquaintances to clandestine clinics, until a big delivery job for the mafia goes wrong.
Echoing the laid back eroticism of Gus Van Sant at his most playful, with shades of a modern-day neo-noir, this visually arresting film is a sumptuous and occasionally chilling journey into the illicit underbelly of Mexico’s capital.
