Movie Description

Recodo de purgatorio

(1975)

Overview

An unnamed man goes to a hotel to commit suicide with pills while listening to songs by Marlene Dietrich. But that act that seems to trigger the mere memory of places and experiences before dying, suddenly merges with other characters and dramatic experiences, which give life to a limit work, of desperate, almost intolerable courage, obstinate in dismantling all institutional discourses of the history of Mexico, without ceasing to use extraordinarily all possible cinematographic resources.
