‘Pedro Páramo’ not only pays tribute to Mexico’s most important literary work, it is also a tribute to love, one as powerful as it is macabre, capable of bringing the entire town of Comala and all its inhabitants down with it. Directed by Rodrigo Prieto and based on Juan Rulfo’s masterpiece novel.

00:00I came to Comala because they told me that my father, a man named Pedro Páramo, lived here.
00:12My mother told me.
00:17And I promised her that I would come, because she was about to die and I was about to promise her everything.
00:26This town is full of echoes.
00:30It's full of people.
00:38I thought I had lost her forever.
00:46But I'm not willing to lose her again.
00:55And the laws?
00:57From now on, we're going to do it.
01:10Do you think I have bad blood?
01:16Really, yes, Mr. Pedro.
01:20I'm starting to pay.
01:22It's better to start early.
01:26It's going to end soon.
01:30Let me go!
01:31May God forgive you.
01:36Pedro Páramo.
