I agree with Salma Hayek (who exclaimed “so many Mexicans!” while announcing the nominations for the 2007 Oscars ceremony) that 2007 was a vintage year for Mexican cinema. Babel and Pan’s Labyrinth won deserved acclaim, and the lesser-known Broken Sky, while not in the league of those two other films, was one of the highlights of the 2007 gay film year.
