Spanish Language Movie Night--De La Calle
Start: 8:00 pm
End: 10:00 pm

Spanish Language Film Series

De La Calle (2001, 90 min, In Spanish with English subtitles)

The award-winning Mexican movie "De la Calle" presents an engrossing, contemporary look at the life of teenagers and young children living on and under the streets of Mexico City. Although not a documentary, the film is able to create a gritty, realistic atmosphere. It manages to evoke a bleak beauty and some sense of hope amid the squalor and depravity.

"De la Calle" follows 15-year-old Rufino and his girlfriend, Xochitl, as they try to escape from the poverty of the urban sprawl of the capital for a new life in the port city of Veracruz. They dream of gazing at the sea. Rufino is a charismatic youth and natural born leader, but he is not the upstanding hero of romantic films of yore: He is a drug runner who fearlessly scams dealers and tries to outwit his connections.
