This trailer took a little digging for me to find -- at least in an English version -- because the movie originally was called Padre Nuestro (Our Father). The change to Sangre de mi Sangre (Blood of my Blood) seems to be a better fit, judging by the trailer. A title like Our Father might make one think this is a feel-good family film about siblings, or a film with religious connotations. Neither one would be accurate. Blood of my Blood fits better, then, because what really happens is that two young men meet while heading from Mexico to New York City. One of the men, Pedro, is looking for his father. It's unclear what the other man, Juan, is after, but he quickly changes his mind and goes after Pedro's father, pretending to be Pedro, in order to get money and a live in the U.S. There are glowing quotes from critics peppered throughout the trailer, so you know it has to be good, right? I mean, they can't fake those or anything, can they? This movie definitely looks intense, and tragic. And it's in Spanish, with subtitles (unless, of course, you speak Spanish, and don't need them). And it won Sundance's top award (under its old name, though; this really is more confusing than it should be). You won't be wasting your money then if you pay to see this one at the theater. Good luck finding it, though. Judging by past behavior, don't be surprised if the name changes again before it hits a theater near you.
