Director's bio:
Arturo Ripstein was born on December 13, 1943 into a family dedicated to film production. It was this connection that allowed him to learn first-hand about the work of Luis Buñuel, becoming his assistant director for El angel exterminador (1962). This was enough experience for Ripstein to direct his first film, Tiempo de Morir (1965) based on an idea written by Gabriel García Márquez and Carlos Fuentes and with it, one of the most important filmographies of a national filmmaker who was infamous for his uncomfortable questioning of sexuality, the corruption of the church and state and their daily life in everyday Mexico, all in stories of misery that have generated both discussion and morbid curiosity in Mexican audiences. Ripstein has a critically acclaimed and critically interesting filmography: He has won the Ariel Award for Best Director in two of his eight nominations - becoming one of the most nominated directors for Mexico's highest award, alongside Roberto Gavaldón and Felipe Cazals - for Cadena Perpetua (1979) and Empire of Fortune (1987).
