Netflix’s I’m No Longer Here is a beautiful and intoxicating trip into a Mexican subculture GlobeArts
were available in Canada, I’d be able to tell you how well it balances the eerie and the entertaining, the familiar and the supposedly “foreign.” I’d also be able to tell you how Fernando Frias, who directed all six episodes of the series’ first season, brings such a unique vision to the proceedings – the filmmaker has a patient kind of curiosity, which results in a visual humour all his own.
Frias is as clearly intoxicated with Ulises as he is cumbia, frequently stopping the film’s action in its tracks to admire both Trevino’s moves and the music’s rhythms . In less inquisitive hands, such detours could have felt unnecessary. Here, they feel essential. Still, there is a semi-frustrating sense that Frias hasn’t quite made the movie that he wanted to – that either time was not on his side or that he fussed too much in the editing booth. The New York segments seem oddly clipped, filmed with less energy and emotion than the Monterrey sequences . There are points, too, where it seems that Trevino’s performance can be attributed almost entirely to those who costumed and styled him.
