A rare, satirical, semi-biographical short film (45 minutes) about the life and death of El Santo. It shows the beloved hero in a less than heroic light -- and the real Santo wasn't amused. The movie starred Fuensanta Zertuche and Agustin Silva ............ As a bonus, there is an addition 16 minute program showing a public access TV show featuring, El Super Barrio. The show was very cheaply produced, but fascinating. It is a political message from the real-life masked hero, who talks about the unfair treatment of his people and the corruption of the Mexican government. He also discusses Chiapas and revolution. Interspersed are clips of him walking among the Mexican people. (The Super Barrio portion of the program has English subtitles.) |

We want to thank David Wilt for his kind help in writing many of the film descriptions listed on these pages. Without his indispensable book, 'The Mexican Filmography' (McFarland, 2004), the task of writing descriptions of all these films would have been almost impossible. We paraphrased his reviews for most of the synopsis we used for the films. If you don't yet have a copy of Dave's book, there will soon be a new paperback edition -- likely released toward the end of 2010. |
