    one of the best movies I have seen since 1998 when I viewed it at the Sundance Film Festival.

    I have been trying to find this film on DVD since it's premiere at Sundance in 1998. I have contacted Sundance with no success. I have also tried to find a release in Mexico to no avail. I also tried emailing the director, but do not know if he received. Please, there seems to be enough interest that a DVD with English subtitles would be profitable.

    This film is not only cinematographically beautiful, but the imagery and story haunting as well.

    I would be interested in hearing from anyone that could give me some answers as to DVD release.

    Wim Wenders mexicano

    An unusual movie coming from a mexican director. The story of a man who sets out to find himself among the deserts of Baja California. He travels from Los Angeles to San Francisco de la Sierra, travels across the landscape and finally arrives at his destination, the primitive paintings of the californian indians.

    Resembles Wim Wenders "Paris, Texas" in that our protagonist is looking for something that he can´t find, something that he needs in order to feel complete. The movie´s length lets us share his journey. The landscape is beautiful and desolate, as anyone familiar with Baja California will recognize. An excellent achievement by a mexican director. Not a movie for everybody, but one that stays with you after you´ve seen it. The phrase "...el pasado son todos nuestros muertos" is very powerful; I definitely recommend this movie.

    Full meal

    Marvelous amalgam of ambient sound, pithy dialogue (occasionally betrayed by poor subtitling), craggy faces, craggier landscapes, and an unerring sense of concise communication. The comparison to Wenders is apt, particularly something like Kings of the Road. Only this is much less about the art of film and much more real. I feel that I'm failing to explain what makes this film so remarkable, because it is more than the great photography, editing, and acting. Truly memorable.

    Caldo for the Soul

    My wife and I were still in a feverish shock the night of Septmber 11, 2001 when this movie came on the Independent Film Channel.

    How engrossing, what film making, and how soul nourishing -- we could finally go to sleep with some hope to cling to.

    The main character is a blocked artist who accidentally kills (or injures) a pregnant immigrant running across a highway in order to reach the USA. He cannot escape his guilt and shame and decides to go on a trek to his ancestors' home - Baja California. 'nuf said.

    CALDO is the word for SOUP in Spanish - and 'Bajo California' is soup for a weary soul.

    PS - who do we lobby to get a DVD of this film?

    Simply exquisite

    I had the pleasure of catching this little gem here in Santa Fe. If you get the chance, don't miss it. A beautiful hero's journey of redemption, finding your roots, friendship, nature, against the stunning Baja California backdrop.
