20-plus-one Pedro Infante flicks, ¡que cante que cante!
The most beloved and deeply rooted Mexican films; a genre of its own, comedy, musical and soap; noted abroad e.g. Berlin’s Berlinale and Venice’s Bienale, yet locally diminished with only a handful of secondary Ariels; captured the heart of Mexico and soul of its cinema: full of life, “color”, songs, and emotions; equally pose to lift up and tear down hearts; paired with “partners in crime”, and lovely mouses; socially charged, in the country or in the city; the strongest and most endearing characters and phrases; delivered standalone, sequels and trilogies (here as one)!
