El Misterio de los Almendros Director: Jaime Humberto Hermosillo Mexico, 2003, 90 min., Video Spanish with subtitles Screenings: Wednesday, March 17, 10:00 pm Sunday, March 21, 8:00 pm While investigating a recent violent crime, a pair of macho private detectives pose as a gay couple to gain access to the world of doña Josefina, “la Señora Open Mind” a shady and perverted wealthy widow whose summer residence is legendary for scandal and debauchery. A well-crafted black comedy with lots of death, dementia and macho camping it up. Hermosillo, who is Mexico's first openly gay filmmaker, also directed the groundbreaking 1986 film Doña Herlinda y su Hijo. One of the most successful Mexican directors of the last few decades, Hermosillo is considered to be Mexico's counterpart to Pedro Almodovar. For mature audiences.
