"Mary My Dearest"
1983
Directed by Jaime H. Hermosillo

A petty thief discovers a former flame who, after once jilting him, has suddenly appeared in his apartment wearing a wedding dress. She fascinates him with magic tricks, persuading him to abandon his life of crime and marry her. They form a vaudeville team whose sexual magnetism is more magical than their threadbare illusions. When Maria's car breaks down, she must turn to an insane asylum for a phone, unleashing an absurd nightmare of entrapment and madness. Co-written from the surreal imagination of Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Spanish with English subtitles. 100 minutes.
