William, the New Judo Master

Back in the 1950s, Swedish-American singer William Clauson had a worldwide hit with La Bamba. Now he lives in a ramshackle garage in Tijuana, Mexico. In William, the New Judo Master, directors Ricardo Silva and Omar Guzmán show how a Mexican nurse washes his naked old body. "How did we get here?", a voice-over muses. "What road led us here? When did we take it?" This fascinating film essay is about the struggle against time, old age and transitoriness. (International Film Festival Rotterdam)
