Mario Bellatin

Enigmatic and deceptively playful in tone, this film from Gabino Rodríguez, in collaboration with Nicolás Pereda, boldly transforms mundane, realist observations at a rural Mexican schoolhouse into fantasy and a sly comment on childhood, rituals, and race.

5.4/10

Composer Marcela Rodríguez and writer Mario Bellatin create an "opera-movie" filming opera rehearsals based on one of Mario's tales.
