The Fantastic World of Juan Orol
2012·1h 34m
Directed by Sebastián del Amo
With Roberto Sosa, Gabriela de la Garza, Fernanda Romero, Jesús Ochoa and Roger Cudney
Comedy
Mexico’s half-forgotten B-movie master, “involuntary surrealist” Juan Orol (1897–1988), receives a pitch-perfect tribute in this deft, irresistible love letter to a self-made man of showbiz whose career spanned half a century and nearly 60 films. Abetted by an all-pro cast, del Amo’s brilliant interpretation of Orol’s life exudes a droll underdog charm, and almost every frame is an infectious homage to the golden age of cinema, the wiles of memory, and the art of fantasy.
