Guadalajara Highlights Hits, Notable Debuts Among Recent Spanish, Portuguese-Language Movies, Plus a Film About a ‘Hell of Naked Depravity’
A look at some titles which could move waves at Mexico’s Guadalajara Film Festival.
The latest from top-flight maverick Cravioto, a “Diablero” showrunner and director on “El Chapo” and now Alex Pina’s “Billionaires’ Bunker.” Here he delivers an often comedic mockumentary seeking to decipher what he calls one of the most critical episodes of Mexican counter-culture: the Festival de Avándaro. One of this year’s Berlin – and most probably Guadalajara’s – standouts, a Berlinale Panorama Audience Award winner which has sold fulsomely for Latido Films to Australia (Madman), Japan (New Select), France Condor Distribution. A screenplay by Gabriela Amaral (“Friendly Beast”) with Fária, a Palme d’Or nominee for short “Estaçao”; a Mar del Plata 2024 best Latin America film win; and Mercedes Morán, playing Martina.
