Cine / Film screening: Yo bailé con Don Porfirio
Finalizamos hoy el ciclo “Grandes figuras del cine mexicano” con la proyección de “Yo bailé con Don Porfirio” en el Café Literario a las seis.
México a principios de siglo. Don Severo, su esposa y su hija Rosa llegan a la capital donde él tiene otra hija, Violeta, quien aspira a ser vedette. Ambas son idénticas y ese parecido provocará varios equívocos. Don Severo se encuentra con Porfirio, su amigo astrólogo, quien le presenta al coronel don Evaristo, el cual va a dar una fiesta para don Porfirio. El teatro Principal, la sociedad afrancesada y los duelos dan vida a esta comedia nostálgica.
Film screening | Cine: Macario
Estrenamos un nuevo ciclo de cine: Grandes figuras del cine mexicano.
El campesino Macario vive obsesionado por su pobreza y por la idea de la muerte. Obstinado, decide aguantarse el hambre hasta no encontrar un pavo que se pueda comer él solo. Su mujer roba uno y Macario sale al bosque a comérselo. Allí se niega a compartirlo con Dios y con el Diablo y sólo lo hace cuando se le aparece la Muerte. Agradecida, la Muerte entrega a Macario un agua curativa con la que el campesino comenzará a hacer milagros.
Hoy a las seis en el Café Literario.
We start today a new film series: Great Figures of Mexican Cinema
Poor, hungry peasant Macario longs for just one good meal on the Day of the Dead. After his wife cooks a turkey for him, he meets three apparitions, the Devil, God, and Death. Each asks him to share his turkey, but he refuses all except Death. In return, Death gives him a bottle of water which will heal any illness.
Today at 6m at Cafe Literario.
Talk with Arturo Ripstein
Instituto Cervantes in Dublín has the pleasure to show the film “Deep Crimson” from director Arturo Ripstein and Paz Alicia Garciadiego (scriptwriter). They will present the film and after the screening, we will have the opportunity to chat with them.
From a true story that had already been taken to the screen –The Honeymoon Killers (1970), a B movie and Truffaut favorite- in the hands of Arturo Ripstein and relocated in Mexico, it has become his masterpiece and won him the international acclaim he long deserved.
The film merges a cruel world, humanized monsters and a black humor that shows up when least expected.
Arturo Ripstein, born in Mexico City in 1943, is the son of a well-known producer. He studied law, history and art history before plunging into a film career in 1962, as an assistant to Luis Buñuel.
In 1965, he directed his first feature, Tiempo de Morir, written by Carlos Fuentes and Gabriel García Márquez, it began a tradition of making independent films written by high-profile Latin-American authors.
In 1997, Ripstein won the National Prize of Arts and Sciences, the second filmmaker after Buñuel to do so.
Paz Alicia Garciadiego is the scriptwriter of many of his films.
