Duck Season ★★★ Temporada de patos 2004 (R)

Left alone one afternoon in a Mexico City apartment, two young teenaged boys settle in with video games. A neighbor girl joins them, wanting to use their oven, followed by the pizza guy (who the boys refuse payment for supposedly being seconds late but who won't leave until he gets his money). This sets the stage for some genuinely warm exchanges among the quartet as they chatter about life and act goofy in the way only aimless youths can. Of course the marijuana-spiked brownies the girl cooks up adds to their careless mood. 90m/B DVD . Enrique Arreola, Diego Catano, Daniel Miranda, Danny Perea; D: Fernando Eimbcke; W: Fernando Eimbcke, Paula Markovitch; C: Alexis Zabe; M: Alejandro Rosso.
