B/N | 43:00

Surreal, anarchic, a delirium of images: a chain of sausages roams the land, throttling people; Coca-Cola is injected intravenously; farmers stand stiffly in an empty landscape. The film examines the cultural and economic effects of foreign influence in Mexico, questioning national identity, power structures, and religious beliefs. A statement against the melodramatic Mexican cinema of the 1960s.

Mexico Day

Día de México

During the six-year term of President Luis Echeverría, a Mexico-United States coexistence day was organized in Washington. American children and adults flocked to the cathedral, where pairs of Mexican dancers performed. It was a day of folk music, regional dances, and exhibitions of Mexican crafts and food.
