Synopsis:
A taxidermist is trapped in a marriage with a religious and emotionally unstable woman, so he plans to carry out the perfect crime.

Review:
Readers of horror fiction know the name Arthur Machen well, especially his 1948 collection “Tales of Horror and the Supernatural.” Oddly this black comedy from Mexico is the only one of his stories to be adapted to the screen. Based on “The Islington Mystery,” it tells the story of a happy taxidermist (Arturo de Cordova) with a horrible, highly religious wife (Amparo Rivelles). I guess it’s fairly obvious from the title what happens, but it’s a terrific, twisty story. Director Rogelio A. González uses all kinds odd, cavernous black-and-white camera angles to capture the story’s spirit.

The post Rogelio A. González – El Esqueleto de la señora Morales aka The Skeleton of Mrs. Morales (1960) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

In Mexico City, two sisters, Maria and Elena, fight over the love of pimp Rodolfo. Elena escapes her sad marriage to an old banker into Rodolfo’s arms. Meanwhile, life is hard for sex worker Maria, who along with her supportive group of fellow sex workers must deal with exploitative clients.

Quote:
Mubi’s Take: Notable as one of the first woman filmmakers in Mexican cinema, Matilde Landeta crafted a strikingly nuanced portrayal of sex work that was truly ahead of its time. In a world financially dominated by men, there are no “good” or “bad girls,” only women whose bodies are commodified by the patriarchy.
