The mirror reflections of Junior, the young protagonist of Mariana Rondón’s film Pelo malo, attempting to straighten his hair for a school photograph reveal the racialized, gendered, sexualized, and classed aspects of normative subjecthood in Venezuela. An examination of the circumstances that frame each mirror reflection and the reactions they elicit in his mother and grandmother and of Junior’s efforts to constitute himself as a normative child reveals the possibilities the film presents for existing outside of normativity. Los reflejos en el espejo de Junior, el joven protagonista de la película Pelo malo de Mariana Rondón, quien intenta alaciar su cabello para una fotografía escolar, revelan los aspectos raciales, de género, sexuales y de clase de la subjetivación normativa en Venezuela. Un análisis de las circunstancias que enmarcan cada reflejo y las reacciones que estas provocan en su madre y abuela, así como los esfuerzos del mismo Junior por constituirse como un niño normativo, revela las posibilidades que nos presenta la película para existir fuera de la normatividad.
