Nuestro Tiempo
A couple’s open relationship begins to crumble when the husband can’t control his jealousy, in this heartfelt exploration of marriage and intimacy.
Juan and Ester live on their remote cattle ranch with their children. It’s a very calm, private existence – one they both want to protect. The couple has until now enjoyed an open relationship but when Ester falls in love with an American horse trainer, she stops sharing details of her affair with Juan. He begins compulsively spying on his wife. The pain of not being in control forces him to question their relationship and he loses himself in turbid, jealous emotions.
Since the release of his bold and stunning first feature, JAPÓN, Carlos Reygadas has proven to be in a class of his own. His films are hypnotic medleys of soulfulness, beauty, provocation, and existential questioning. Reygadas’s latest, NUESTRO TIEMPO (OUR TIME) is his most personal and courageous to date, casting himself and his wife in the lead roles as he explores a married couple’s relationship in crisis.
