Rock, Weed and Wheels

"Rock, Weed and Wheels (Autos, mota y rocanrol) is a Mexican comedy directed by J.M. Cravioto (Olimpia) that adopts a mockumentary format (with clear influences from The Office) to tell the story of the infamous Avándaro Festival, retrospectively known as the "Mexican Woodstock," from the perspective of its two organizers: the friends and budding entrepreneurs Justino Compeán (played by Emiliano Zurita) and Eduardo López Negrete (Alejandro Speitzer). Although the film jumps from one moment to another without any minimally complex dramatic or character development, it manages to draw humor from a situation clearly out of its control, with its chaos reaching hilarious levels. While telling the story from the perspective of the organizers rather than the musicians may seem like a missed opportunity, it is undeniable that Cravioto, Zurita, and Speitzer make you laugh in this story that at least rescues other facets of the context that gave rise to the Rock and Wheels Festival of Avándaro."
