Felipe Cazals: the conscience of Mexican cinema
Tagged: Film, Guillermo del ToroPosted on: April 2nd, 2007“A singular Mexican filmmaker has been getting lots of attention here lately. Whats shocking is that his name isnt Alfonso Cuarón, Guillermo del Toro or Alejandro González Iñárritu.
Back in the late 1970s, when the so-called Three Amigos were in high school, director Felipe Cazals was busy pushing cultural hot buttons and flaying cinematic sacred cows. He was part of a group of Young Turks, akin to the Coppola-Scorsese-Spielberg troika, that helped lift Mexican cinema from the slough of institutional mediocrity that had followed its Golden Age of the 1930s through the 1950s.”
