The Secret Formula

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.
