Editor's Note
A monumental achievement of the Mexican cinema, RIO ESCONDIDO is notable in a number of respects. It was directed by Emilio Fernandez, historically one of the most important Latin American filmmakers, at the height of his success and popularity. The star is Maria Flix, an actress with iconic status in Mexico, and the villain is played by Carlos Lpez Moctezuma, who won an Ariel (the Mexican equivalent of the Oscar) for his role in the film. The influence of Sergei Eisenstein on Fernandez is manifest in the film, with a story of poverty-stricken villagers being exploited by a cruel governor. Flix plays a teacher sent by the President to investigate the horrible living conditions and corrupt bureaucracies of the countryside. She arrives in Ciudad Juarez, where greedy thug (Lpez Moctezuma) has seized control of the town and terrorizes its populace. The teacher educates the townspeople in how to defend themselves and battle the villainous mayor. RIO ESCONDIDO is a story of social justice made by some of the giants of Mexican cinema.
