Synopsis

24 hours in the lives of Fausto and Jesus, two undocumented Mexican day-laborers in L.A. Each morning, they gather with fellow workers on the street, waiting for work to come. Today, the job is much better paid than usual—but Jesus carries a shotgun inside his backpack.

MUBI's take

Following a pair of undocumented Mexican labourers in southern California, this searing home invasion film from Amat Escalante is a shocking exposé of immigrant tensions and class division. Co-produced by Carlos Reygadas, Los bastardos imbues its observational style with vividly mounting dread.
