"La Virgen De La Lujaria (The Virgin of Lust)"
2002
Directed by Arturo Ripstein

Directed by legendary filmmaker Arturo Ripstein (Deep Crimson, The Crime of Padre Amaro), this bold and sensuous drama stars Luis Felipe Tovar as a sex-obsessed waiter whose encounter with a sadistic prostitute (Ariadne Gil) quickly ensnares him in a thorny relationship. Nacho (Tovar) begins taking increasingly bolder steps to win Lola's (Gil) heart, and it isn't long before he's contemplating a daring assassination attempt. Ripstein's detailed evocation of 1940's Mexico and his psychologically probing camerawork make this an unforgettable addition to his oeuvre. Spanish with English subtitles.  140 minutes.
