Shot largely over the 90s, Fistful of Love is the debut feature of the Mexico-born, Los Angeles-based photographer Reynaldo Rivera, and makes extensive use of his immense personal archive of Hi8 tapes. Vignettes from Rivera’s life in both Mexico and California—including raucous parties, punk clubs, drag performances, political protests, intimate moments with artist friends, family, and more—are elegantly edited together in a nonlinear fashion by filmmaker Pablo Bujosa Rodríguez, to present a nostalgia-free look back at el fin de siglo (end of the century), and the characters, music, and cities that make up a life.
