Sounds like fun. I probably can't make it so I'll wait until the 14th and go to the local bomba to get a copy for 90 pesos. :) just kidding!

Arturo Ripstein? OMG, he has to be one of the dullest film makers on the planet. I'm still recovering from "Virgin of Lust". That was an absolutely mind numbing experience. I've never come across a director who could make sex seem so utterly dull.

The film Ripstein directed is based on a Dominican novel - Carnaval de Sodoma by Pedro Antonio Valdes - so that's one of the ones I was planning to watch.
