Comment on Days of Grace – review

Days of Grace – review

There is a tendency for Latin American directors to use teasingly complicated narrative forms, linking events over a period of years, such as Juan José Campanella's Argentinian Oscar winner, The Secret in Their Eyes, or interweaving different stories, such as Mexican Alejandro González Iñárritu's Oscar-nominated Amores Perros. Now in his ambitious feature debut, Days of Grace (aka Dias de Gracia), Everardo Gout has combined both approaches by simultaneously telling three violent tales set in Mexico at four-year intervals during the months of the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea, the 2006 World Cup in Germany and the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.The footballing nations fight it out around the world and the cops and crooks of Mexico City obsessively follow and gamble on the games.
