02 · 14 · 18 Mexican Films to Reflect on Love Share with twitter Share with facebook Share with mail Copy to clipboard Gabriela Martínez @GabbMartivel Ya sea romántico, inocente o trágico, el amor siempre ha encontrado un lugar en el cine mexicano. Desde su perspectiva única, cada realizador logra contar historias de amor enmarcadas en contextos sociales distintos, algunos más crudos y controvertidos que otros, pero sin perder de vista la motivación principal de sus personajes. A continuación, una lista con quince películas que han participado en el Festival Internacional de Cine de Morelia (FICM) que toman como temática el amor en sus diferentes formas. La mujer del puerto, de Arcady Boytler (1934) The Untamed (2016, dir. Amat Escalante) FICM 2016 Alejandra is a working housewife, raising two boys with husband Angel in a small city. Her brother Fabian works as a nurse in a local hospital. Their provincial lives are upset with the arrival of mysterious Veronica. Sex and love can be fragile in certain regions where strong family values, hypocrisy, homophobia, and male chauvinism exist. Veronica convinces them that in the nearby woods, inside an isolated cabin, dwells something not of this world that could be the answer to all of their problems. Something whose force they cannot resist and with whom they must make peace or suffer its wrath.
