Description

Fresh from serving eighteen years in jail for shooting a man in self-defense, Juan Sayago (Jorge Martinez de Hoyos, The Magnificent Seven) comes back to his hometown to start life anew and reunite with old flame Mariana (Marga Lopez, Bunuel's Nazarin). But the two sons of the man he killed, consumed by an overwhelming thirst for revenge, have been anxiously awaiting his return. From an original story by Gabriel Garcia Marquez (One Hundred Years of Solitude), and featuring dialogue by Mexican novelist/essayist Carlos Fuentes (The Death of Artemio Cruz, The Old Gringo), this stunning directorial debut by a then-21-year-old Arturo Ripstein provides insight into the genius who would go on to create Deep Crimson and Hell Without Limits.

    Time to watch... a good western

    Arturo Ripstein’s first film is a black-and-white Western based on the traditional theme of revenge or redemption. What’s interesting is that the story begins with the aftermath of a duel: the survivor’s conviction and what happens after his release from prison—his transformation and his desire to reintegrate into society, which clashes with the hatred passed down through the generations among the heirs of the duel’s victim, in a Mexican society frozen by its codes of honor and machismo.

    The film draws its inspiration more from the American masters than from the Italian Western, which was then at the height of its popularity.

    Arturo Ripstein skillfully favors long takes and delivers a very good Western.
