Many films use the imaginative nature of cinema to blur the lines between life and the afterlife, but just a select number of them do it in ways that feel innovative and intriguing. Pedro Páramo uses its supernatural language to inform the audience of the consequences of a collective wrongdoing. It is also remarkably efficient at communicating different storylines to the audience without making viewers get lost in the process.
Prieto is also clever at slowly making viewers get used to the limbo/afterlife setting of the movie by introducing new elements little by little. So, this particular segment gradually feels like a genre-bending adventure that plays with Western, drama, and horror elements. This is also — for obvious reasons — the segment in which the cinematography changes the most, and the one that makes it absolutely clear Prieto has mastered his craft.
Páramo, along with Padre Renteria , underscores a theme that is not exclusive to Pedro Páramo: the way that people in positions of power within religious institutions get to pick and choose what deeds they'll do while claiming that God is speaking through them.
Pedro Páramo is more than a worthy first feature of a cinematographer who helped bring to life industry juggernauts like Barbie, The Wolf of Wall Street, and Brokeback Mountain. It shows that aside from being a master cinematographer, Prieto is also a skilled storyteller whose work makes us eager to check out whatever comes next for him.
