| | dOc DVD Review: Without a Trace (Sin Dejar Huella) (2000) |
 | | And it is their slowly building and tenuous friendship that makes their scenes together so compelling and watchable; it is the joy in the simple art of conversation, rather than the occasionally contrived moments with the mysterious red car, that make Novaro's narrative so unexpectedly enjoyable. |
 | | It should be noted that the English title of Without a Trace is strictly a marketing add-on here, as the film is presented in its original Spanish, with optional English subtitles; in fact, the only place the words Without a Trace appear are on the DVD cover art. |
 | | It may bear superficial comparisons to Thelma and Louise, but María Novaro's Sin Dejar Huella (Without a Trace) is more character-driven film than was Ridley Scott's marginally cartoonish bit of over-the-top feminism, and the way she captures the beauty of Mexico is a sight to behold. |
