It is said that movie's were made to transport us out of our reality and immerse us in a different world.
When watching Macario I'm happy to say that kind of magic has endured for this picture since 1960.
It has been throughout almost than 45 years, the example of good Mexican cinema. It has a peculiar effect: this movie begins to make some distance from the happy, naive and joyful musical movies made in the Golden Years of Mexica cinema, nonetheless it still lacks the cynicism and irony of later films.
Parallel to the main character behavior, beneath that surface of the plot and narrative, lies a fully formed story: Even though Macario speaks little, we know he thinks a reflects a lot.
Igancio López Tarso made a classic with is quiet character, and I was amazed to find in Pina Pellicer one of the most beautiful women in Mexican movies.
It is sad to see movies like this are no longer made. Mysticism has no place in Mexican cinema right now.
(with a few... quite a few, and I mean quite a FEW -near to NONE- exceptions)
