“Days of Grace,” the debut feature from Everardo Gout, a Mexican filmmaker with a background in music videos and television commercials, weaves together three stories of violence and corruption in Mexico City. Mr. Gout and his tremendously talented cinematographer, Luis David Sansans (whose credits include Alfonso Cuarón’s “Y Tu Mama Tambien” and Baz Luhrmann’s “Romeo+Juliet”), use different color schemes and aspect ratios to signal where we are in time. The music by Nick Cave and Atticus Ross, among others.
