Biography
Carlos Reygadas Castillo is a Mexican filmmaker and screenwriter whose work centers on spiritual journeys into his characters' inner worlds. Born October 10, 1971, he channels existentialist art and philosophy into narratives exploring love, suffering, death, and life's meaning. His debut Japón and third feature Silent Light established him as one of Latin America's most prominent writer-directors, with critics naming Silent Light among the decade's finest films. Battle in Heaven and Post Tenebras Lux, by contrast, divided critical reception. Reygadas has been described as "the one-man third wave of Mexican cinema," distinguished by expressionistic cinematography, long takes, and emotionally charged storytelling. Beyond directing, he co-produces work by other filmmakers including Amat Escalante's Sangre, Los Bastardos, and Heli, as well as Pedro Aguilera's The Influence. As a screenwriter and actor, Reygadas operates across multiple roles within cinema. His Libra birth date aligns with his cinema's dualistic exploration of opposing forces—beauty and brutality, faith and doubt—creating works that resist easy categorization.
