Macario

RESEÑA

México | 1960

In the time of Viceroyalty, a humble lumberer who shared a piece of roasted turkey with Death out of charity obtains a formula that can heal even those dying; this gift will turn his life into a nightmare. There is no doubt this is a classic of Mexican cinema where the narrative discipline and the tragic universe of Roberto Gavaldon wrap in the extraordinary cinematography of Gabriel Figueroa, that transmits the fantastical atmosphere of the film, which was nominated to an Oscar in 1961.

Roberto Gavaldón
