520 On his filmography, Conner describes this film as "Famous
documentary containing complete information. Special
effects by Isauro Nava, Rancho del Cura, Huatla de Jimenez,
Mexico." The film uses frenetic, fast cutting of street
and village scenes in Mexico to give a hallucinogenic
effect . Scenes include graveyards, people gambling and
playing cards, and fireworks. After the fireworks, the
setting switches to city scenes, including highways,
traffic signals, and gardens. The fast cutting is
continued throughout, implying that one can expand one's
perceptions in both rural and urban environments.
