Carlos Reygadas's work Presence is a prose poem written by a filmmaker convinced that cinema is something more than just a mass entertainment industry. The Mexican director reflects on cinema as a true art, contrasting it with representational cinema, in which to every imagery a socially imposed role is preassigned. Cinema's power lies not in its ability to entertain or inform the public. Cinema is the art of presence, or, in the words of Tarkovsky, who is frequently quoted in the book, is «time captured».
