Film: Maria Candelaria

Nicholas Wolaver, Neighbor

In a careful choreography of light and darkness, Gabriel Figueroa captures both the beauty of the Mexican landscape and the depth of human expression to heighten every moment of this classic romantic tragedy from renowned director Emilio Fernández. Winner of Best Cinematography and the Grand Prize at the 1946 Cannes Film Festival, María Candelaria stands as one of the most beloved films in all of Mexican film history and is certainly one of the most aesthetically astounding.


Tickets are available through the Woodruff Arts Center Box Office. This film is presented in conjunction with the Frida & Diego exhibition at the High Museum of Art Feb. 14 to May 11, 2013.
