Arturo Ripstein, one of Mexico’s most enduring and influential auteurs, continues to repulse and disturb with his oeuvre. Once an assistant to Buñuel and now in his fifth decade of filmmaking, Ripstein is as uncompromising as ever. At the age of only 22, he made his debut with 1965 based on a script by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Carlos Fuentes. He has directed numerous features, short films and documentaries.
Time has turned the Old Man and Beatriz into the same flesh, the same guts. They destroy and need each other: they share demons, memories, resentments. The Old Man lives on his jealousy. She lives on feeling desired and desirable. They have spent many years like that. They are intimate enemies. They live in a harmony of hate. But Dinorah, the maid, picks a side and takes matters into her own hands. And that is when fate catches up to the old couple.
