Synopse
In the 1950s, Mexican photographer Manuel Alvarez Bravo (1902–2002) and cameraman Gabriel Figueroa (1908–1997) made a documentary film on their friend, the painter Diego Rivera, but the latter died before the film was completed. Figueroa’s son Gabriel and Rivera’s grandson Diego López have now built up on the fragment to produce a fascinating document of Mexican cultural history.
