El realismo, —casi naturalismo— con arrebatos poéticos del original literario se convierte en estilización y vehículo de las obsesiones místico-revolucionaristas del cineasta y en una continuación de sus búsquedas formales. Deseos es un filme irritante y narcisista que se distingue por su riqueza visual y sus hallazgos en el campo audiovisual. Estuvo prohibida casi seis años, en parte por cuestiones de censura, y en parte por la solemnidad y renuencia del autor de la novela original, quien se sentía traicionado al trastocar el filme el sentido de su obra.
An unnamed man goes to a hotel to commit suicide with pills while listening to songs by Marlene Dietrich. But that act that seems to trigger the mere memory of places and experiences before dying, suddenly merges with other characters and dramatic experiences, which give life to a limit work, of desperate, almost intolerable courage, obstinate in dismantling all institutional discourses of the history of Mexico, without ceasing to use extraordinarily all possible cinematographic resources.
