    About 1970s Mexican Movies

    The 1970s

    The 1970s are widely considered American cinema's strongest decade, when the studio system's collapse handed a generation of young directors unusual freedom. It ended with Jaws and Star Wars inventing the modern blockbuster.

    Mexican cinema

    Mexican cinema had a Golden Age in the 1940s and 50s and a second surge from the late 1990s, when Cuarón, del Toro, and Iñárritu moved between Mexican production and Hollywood without abandoning either.
