#ThisNightIllWatchYour online stream of #ArturoRipstein's THE CASTLE OF PURITY (1973) via @mubiuk
. Fascinating stuff. I'm sure the main set was used in EL VAMPIRO (1957). Ripstein is unexplored territory for me, so I'm going to blast through his oeuvre. #TheCastleofPurity #MexicanCinema

After her parents' death, 15 yr old virginal Justine(Susana Camini) is sent to the convent/orphanage. There she meets Alucarda (Tina Romero), a dark haired beauty with mischievous smile. They develop a relationship quickly even though Justine smells danger around her new, mysterious friend. After their naked blood-letting initiation with a Puck like creature, the Sisters and the priests at the convent suspect that the girls are possessed by the devil and perform a barbaric exorcism on Justine on a cross. A big mistake. Mexico‘s surealist theater group, Panic! alum Juan Lopez Moctezuma seems to have a different sensibility than fellow member Alejandro Jodorowsky. The film has almost eastern European feel to it (Valerie and Her Week of Wonders comes to mind). Vibrant color palette and organic looking sets are quite beautful to look at. Plenty of nudity, vampirism, beheading & spontaneous combustion occur throughout. Sensual cinema. #mexicancinema #horror #juanlopezmoctezuma #alucarda

For Reygadas film, Stellet Licht is a surprisingly subtle one. It starts out with five minute long take of dawn breaking. The camera slowly rotates from the star studded sky down to the horizon then dollies slowly forward with the sound of barnyard beasts breaking its morning orchestra of insects: the scene is truly a virtuosic filmmaking. There are many measured, beautiful sequences throughout the film. His non-actors bring out some genuinely moving moments also. #carlosreygardas #mexicancinema
