macario (1960), widely considered one of the greatest mexican films ever made, is a simple but elegant production. the story is, fundamentally, a fairy tale, with the narrative structure of a fairy tale moralizing against greed: the eponymous protagonist wants nothing more than to eat a turkey all to himself, desiring it so strongly that he refuses to share with either the devil or god himself. death, who appears in the form of a fellow peasant and with whom macario shared the turkey, grants him great power in gratitude, but this power proves to be macario’s downfall. the structure is not uncommon, but the film itself is written with a strong sense of class consciousness that sympathizes firmly with macario. macario is a generous, loving, responsible father and member of his community, and simultaneously deeply and fervently wants something only for himself—a paradox forced upon him by destitution and exploitation. macario’s life is one of tightly bounded limits thrust upon him by an inscrutable higher power: limits to how much food he can eat, what work he can do, how long he can live; these limits are directly tied to his class as a peasant, and are maintained by the greedy hand of the aristocrats and bourgeoisie and the iron hand of the church. through this class-conscious, anti-bourgeois story, the fairy tale atmosphere is maintained through beautifully done special effects, created both in camera and with gorgeous and clever props, and the flawless acting keeps the laconic script aloft. i deeply enjoyed macario (1960), deservedly one of the classics, and i would highly recommend it

Estudios de algunas escenas de la película "Días de Otoño"

[erik--alonso]

La forma en que todos los personajes de Días de otoño (1963), de Roberto Gavaldón, viven a la espera de la promesa cumplida que nunca llegará.

No es casualidad que el cuento de B. Traven en que está basada la película se llame “Frustración”.

Pero, por otro lado, está Luisa (una genial Pina Pellicer) que con aplomo de Bartleby, se niega a aceptar esa decepción y se compromete con su relato hasta las últimas consecuencias.

Acostumbrados a mentir para existir, nos hemos olvidado que vivimos en la simulación.

Sigo pensando en esas tomas nocturnas donde se contraponen el diminuto cuarto de azotea donde vive Luisa y la forma en que la fotografía de Gabriel Figueroa nos muestra esa ciudad "moderna" en ciernes. Con sus grandes avenidas y con sus luminosos anuncios publicitarios que nos anuncian un futuro lleno de progreso que también brillará por su ausencia.

Habría que cumplir, como dicen por acá pensando en Bolivar Echeverría, la promesa de la modernidad, completarla para todos.
