    The best Ripstein is back!!

    A real nightmare that has as scenery the labyrinths Alleys of Mexico City. Arturo Ripstein in an elegant Black and white crumbles the sordid story of two fighters dwarfs and Two prostitutes on a trip without return. Overwhelming, wet atmosphere, Smelling of unsuccessful characters caught up in their own hobbies and Obsessions. One of the best Mexican directors is back!!

    Bleak and Bizarre

    La calle de la amargura is a very strange creation. First off, aside from the iphones, it looks like the films produced in the 1950s--not only because it is in black and white, but also because it depicts urban life in Mexico and evokes memory of Luis Bunuel's Mexico period. The film also contains elements reminiscent of works by Pedro Almodovar and Franco Fellini. La calle de la amargura, however, is much less powerful than any of those directors' works, and seems somehow gratuitously bleak.
