El camino de la vida
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.
A portrait of the lives of marginalized children in Mexico City, through three young criminals. One of them killed his stepfather to protect his mother, another blinded his guardian to avoid his abuse, and a third had to steal to eat.
