This Is Not Berlin (2019)

Should have seen it right in the title, but This is Not Berlin does not take place in Berlin, believe it or not!  This film festival darling of an indie flick drops you into the middle of Mexico City, 1986 with its main character, Carlos (Xabiani Ponce de León).  Carlos is an outcast who doesn't fit in with anyone in his family or his chosen crew of friends at school, until one day he is invited out to an underground nightclub where he learns about the post-punk movement, sexual freedom, and party drugs...  you know, the classic combo of sex, drugs, and rock & roll that when you find it at the right age, helps define your tastes moving forward for years to come!  if you're going to have a movie about the aforementioned holy trinity, you can't do a movie about it without dabbing in a touch of nudity and this movie does that with style and grace.  The sexy Klaudia Garcia strips down for a couple of sex scenes, including one avant-garde style student film where she and the rest of the cast smear paint all over each other in the buff!  This might not be Berlin, but this certainly must be the place, right?
