Cristo is the first feature film directed and produced by Margarita Alexandre and Rafael Torrecilla. Evoking the work of Luciano Emmer, this art documentary tells the story of the life of Jesus using only Spanish paintings. In close harmony with the montage, the photographic technique used by Juan Mariné for the filming gives movement to the paintings by Titian, El Greco and Rubens, while the presence of the voices of Fernando Rey, José María Seoane, María Jesús Valdés and other actors of the period give the characters a sense of entity. The film received the category of National Interest from the Censorship Board, undoubtedly more inspired by the film’s exaltation of the national artistic heritage and its religious subject matter than by its artistic aspirations.Read More »

Bim bam boom, meet the Moreno sisters! Three women, three sisters, three professional luchadoras. Under the name Las Luchas Morenas they practice the Mexican national sport: wrestling! All three are part of the Dynasty Moreno: Rossy, Esther, and Cynthia are competitive wrestlers on the ring. But they also bring Lucha Libre into life, wrestling with knives, pig heads, flowers and feathers! Marie Losier‘s characteristic whirring camera swirls curiously around them and captures it all in a cheerful and musical tribute to fantasy, to the child in all adults, and to Mexican culture. But it is ultimately a tribute to the three women, who in spite of all their differences have chosen to lead their lives according to their own ideas.Read More »
