    About Mexican Drama Movies

    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.

    Drama

    Drama is cinema's widest category and its default setting — character, conflict, and consequence without genre machinery. It's where most awards conversation lives, and where directors go when the story is the effect.
