La Escondida Reviews
LA ESCONDIDA
THE OPRESSION AND TRYRANNY URGED THE MEXICAN TOWN,THE SUBJECTION BECOMES MORE EVIDENT IN THE LARGE ESTATES,FARMS AND SMALL TOWNS IN WHICH THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE REASON FOR THE RIGHTS OF MEN.THE STOICAL GROUP OF LABORERS WOULD SUBMISSIVELY BITE THEIR DISGRACE IN SILENCE,MEANWHILE THE LASHING ACCUMULATES FOR THE PRIVILEGED CAST.THIS IS THE DRAMATIC EPISODE OF THE TURBELANT AND CONFUSED ERA.THE HISTORY OF A LOVE THAT WAS SWEPT AWAY BY A WHIRLWIND OF THE REVOLUTION..
Best Version of Rare Classic
I give the movie a 5. The DVD would get a 1. But this is the best there is out there of this classic film starring one of the great actresses of the Mexican cinema in one of her finest roles. The photography of Gabriel Figueroa is, as always, GREAT!
It's almost sad to watch these classic films from The Golden Age of Mexican Cinema in such poor quality, but there is not yet a very big market for these films and, consequently, who is really going to spend the money to restore them to their former beauty. The price should be cheaper, however. But cinema lovers should really look into these Mexican classics, because they are as good as anything that was being made anywhere in the world at the time.
I look forward to one day seeing good DVD versions of MARIA CANDELARIA with Dolores Del Rio and LA PERLA, two of the very finest Mexican films. Anything from Maria Felix's great period (1940s-1950s) should be considered a find.
If you're looking for a flawless digital transfer, this is not it. But, otherwise, the film is quite worthwhile.
