"Place Without Limits"
1977
Directed by Arturo Ripstein
From Arturo Ripstein,
perhaps Mexico's most interesting filmmaker, a bittersweet dissection of machismo and
homophobia in Latin America. La Manuela, a transvestite who lives in a brothel run by his
daughter, "emerges as an all-out attack on machismo, suggesting that it can often
mask in a man a highly insecure sense of masculinity" (Los Angeles Times).
Arturo Ripstein won the Golden Ariel Award from the Academy Awards of Mexico, with Roberto
Cobo receiving the Silver Ariel for Best Actor for his portrayal of La Manuela.
Spanish with English subtitles.
110 minutes. |
