Title: Chac: The Rain God
Review: This is a superb "little gem" of a film was shot in Chiapus Mexico in 1974 in the area around San Cristobal de Las Casas. With one or two exceptions, the actors are all residents of the village where most of the filming took place. It is an area of stunning beauty. Chac was an early example of a film style that combines a theatrical script with a documentary approach. Chac contrasts the ancient mythology (drawn from the Popul Vu) with contemporary village life of the Maya. It is a film for adult viewers. This is a film you'll likely want to share with friends which may lead (as it has with me) to the purchase of multiple copies; "gifts" from my lending library!
