Social Mobility: Reygadas’ “Wake of Umbra” Aiming for 2025

Date:

After shooting in countries such as Norway and his native Mexico, we can confirm that the Poland segment is now complete for Carlos Reygadas‘ sixth feature. Additionally, we’ve gathered that the Wake of Umbra (Estela de sombra) revolves around four friends traversing time and space, encountering one another in various incarnations, settings, and social roles. Polish producers include Beata Rzeźniczek, Klaudia Śmieja-Rostworowska and Ewa Puszczyńska. It also looks like that this won’t be rushed for a possible Venice showcase and instead opt for a 2025 premiere and a possible return to Cannes? His first films recently got re-stored and will be made available via the Criterion folks.
