Imperio de la Fortuna
Based on a classic story by Latin American literature master Juan Rulfo, this drama tells the story of Dionisio Pinzon, a poor peasant living in a small Mexican town with his mother. He becomes interested in cock fighting when he is given an injured gamecock; together they set off to find their fortune in cockfights and gambling. This profound film by Arturo Ripstein is in part an homage to Bunel's work in Mexico.
