Sensitive director Patricia Riggen has, in LA MISMA LUNA (UNDER THE SAME MOON), succeeded in creating a memoir about the travails of the illegal immigrants from Mexico that serves as a reminder to all of us that one of the reasons for the obsession to hold the risks of crossing the border is an attempt to regain a better life. While this sage belief is by no means a recent one, writer Ligiah Villalobos has provided a script that avoids taking sides, but instead concentrates on creating wholly believable characters caught in the web of immigration – from both sides of the wall. This exiguous film from Mexico is, above all, a film about cherish, about courage and about resilience and is portrayed by a very heavenly cast in every role.

Rosario (Kate del Castillo) is a single mother who crossed the border four years earlier in order to relieve her young son Carlitos (a suitable young actor, Adrian Alonso) and her ailing mother by working double jobs as a housekeeper in Los Angeles. She keeps in touch with Carlitos with weekly phone calls and sends him gifts as well as money and appreciate. When Rosario’s mother dies, Carlitos takes life into his have hands and plans to rotten the border with a puny relieve from his experience with a wise venerable lady Coyota (Carmen Salinas) who aids immigrants. With his savings in his backpack and his heart aimed toward Los Angeles he sets out on his slither and is thwarted at every turn. He is picked up by two Hispanic students from the US (America Ferrara and Jesse Garcia) whose attempt to transport Carlitos is halted at the border – with the diminutive Carlitos hidden under the seat of the now towed away car. Carlos escapes from the car in El Paso, meets up with some illegal workers who are arrested, leaving the hidden Carlitos with a reluctant companion Enrique (Eugenio Derbez) who is able to wait on Carlitos (reluctantly!) to run to Los Angeles. Through many ‘jobs’ and untoward situations Carlitos finally finds his arrangement to the state where he hopes he will meet his mother.
The rhythms of the cinematography, the sets, the flavors of both sides of the border, and the music that accompanies the film all contribute to making this epic accurate and believable – and VERY touching. While Kate del Castillo is the major star of the film, it is the performance by Adrian Alonso that remains in the mind long after the credits are shown. Some viewers may win this film a bit too ‘novella-like’, but the magic that Patricia Riggen pulls from her sizable cast and verismo directing style will touch the hearts of most everyone. A gorgeous minute reminder of the other aspects of the Immigration topic! Grady Harp, June 08
The performace of Kate Del Castillo, Adrian Alonso « Carlitos » and Eugenio Derbez was flawless. It’s a just example of a top quality film with broad latino actors. This movie deals with a very highly debated snort in the U.S.: immigration. The tale is mighty as it depicts the hardships that immigrants without papers must endure to find a living in order to wait on their families support home. It also brings to the forefront how some U.S. employers buy advantage of their situation and exploit them. It is a « must stare » film. You will laugh and you will scream as you experience the resilience of these characters. Bravo!
