Cape Horn
Inspired by North American cinema, we look at a forgotten body of work, buried in our archives: Mexican melodramas, made in the 1940s and 1950s. With it's many stars (especially Maria Felix), Mexico has established a real system, driven by a very cinematic vibe : the excess of feelings. The rarity of those gems is the reason why most of them will be presented in french.
Programmed with the collaboration of Marie-Laure Poiré Bleau.
Antonio, the captain of a whaling ship, has an affair with a woman on the run, convinced that her misfortune will fall on him. He is sent to Cape Horn, picking up the ship's owner and the woman along the way. They head for their destination, a place steeped in obscure legend.
