To celebrate the National Day of Mexican Cinema on 15 Aug, we’ve teamed up with the Mexican Embassy in UK and the Cineteca Nacional in Mexico City to bring you a spectacular season of Mexican Golden Age Cinema.
Enjoy these exquisite examples of Mexican classics, film noir and screen goddesses in newly restored and digitalised prints that promise an extremely high-quality big screen experience.
The season opens with an all-time classic La Perla (Emilio Fernández, 1945) and then delves into the stellar career of Roberto Gavaldón, a filmmaker who challenged the prevailing Mexican machismo through male-centred melodrama and female stars often cast against type.
