La Perdicion de los Hombres
Directed by Arturo Ripstein
The Ruination of Men is the cause of Women, is a famous saying in Mexico. The film depicts two ranchers who decide to stone a third rancher to death. In a darkly surreal and comic way the film then follows several widows that show up at the police station to claim the body, as each detail their grievances. Following a coin flip, the winning widow unknowingly hires one of the murderers to carry the body home, and learns the reason for his murder; for losing a baseball game. La Perdicion de Los Hombres won the "Best Film" award at the prestigious San Sebastian International Film Festival in 2000.
