Best Actress (Irene Azuela)/CineLatino
A son, a daughter and their dying mother are caught between desire, death and yearnings for the future in the remarkably pungent "Burn the Bridges." Theater-trained helmer and co-writer Francisco Franco makes the leap into features with striking confidence, coming up with one of the few superior dramas in recent Mexican filmmaking. Top prizes nabbed at Morelia fest. (Variety - Robert Kohler)
Arts In Film/Best Arts In Film/Best Cinematography (Storaro)
Longoni's new bio-pic about Michalangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, the supremely great and more-famous-than-ever late sixteenth and early seventeenth-century Italian artist, premiered in a long version at Lincoln Center, is a glorious spectacle with a charismatic star. Marked by rich interiors, often lit as in Caravaggio's paintings, panoramic shots, sweeping music, and large cast, this is a pleasure to watch. Beautiful to look at and richly eventful, if conventional, the film never errs in tone.

PASEO, EcoCinema, Food On Film
Food focus don't get any tastier than "The Chicken, the Fish and the King Crab." Following Spanish master chef Jesus Almagro as he prepares for the Bocuse d'Or, a top cooking contest, vet lenser-turned-docu helmer Jose Luis Lopez-Linares masters all the ingredients required for a delightful confection, achieving the perfect balance between a tense competition and likeable personalities. Docu is certain to become a staple on cooking channels, but before then, it could easily burst out of the fest circuit and onto select screens. (Variety)

Since then he has earned his stripes before and behind the camera: whether acting, producing, composing or directing, he remains unafraid to challenge audiences - continually surprising them and surpassing himself.
