Mexican Exhibition Giant Cinemex Set to Bow Berlin Winner ‘Adolfo,’ Another Step in the Consolidation of Emerging Auteur Sofía Auza
Distributed internationally by Fremantle, “Adolfo” will test the strength of evolving audience tastes in Mexico.
A Berlin Generation Crystal Bear winner and the first foray into film of the Fremantle-backed The Immigrant, Sofía Auza’s “Adolfo” saw its premiere Monday night in Mexico City. The cooky but troubled Momo (De la Mañana) and Hugo (Daniel García Treviño), on his way to his estranged dad’s funeral, coincide at a bus stop late at night. Validated by her work on “Adolfo,” Auza has gone on to re-team with The Immigrant to make “Yellow,” a Lionsgate+ TV series starring Eréndira Ibarra (“Ingobernable”) and Tessa Ia (“After Lucía”) as two fugitives who steal a taxi and its driver to escape from the police.
