Midaq Alley Movie Review

Cast & Crew

Director : Jorge Fons

Producer : Gerardo Barrera, Alfredo Ripstein Jr.

Screenwriter : Vicente Leñero

Starring : Ernesto Gómez Cruz, María Rojo, Salma Hayek, Bruno Bichir, Delia Casanova

Also known as El callejón de los milagros, the producers will not hesitate for a second to tell you this is "the most awarded film in Mexican history." That may carry some weight with cineastes and film historians, but Midaq Alley turns out to be little more than a long (2 1/2 hours) Mexican soap opera with its basic premise stolen from Rashomon. Not much you have to do to get those Mexican awards, it appears.

Aka El callejón de los milagros.
