The Citrillo's Turn

About This Movie

So, The Citrillo's Turn is set in this pulque bar in Mexico City back in 1903, right before the Revolution kicks in. It’s one of those films that’s heavy on atmosphere—dark, brooding, with characters that float in and out of reality. They drink their sorrows and share tales of the dead, which makes for some really compelling storytelling. The blend of drama and fantasy here is well done; you feel the weight of love, betrayal, and jealousy hanging in the air. The practical effects, though not the focus, add a nice touch to the supernatural elements. The pacing is deliberate, letting you soak in the mood. Performances are really strong, capturing that desperation and longing. It’s a unique piece, not your typical narrative, but that’s what draws you in. Quite an experience, really.
