The #Oscars left the great Silvia Pinal (1931-2024) out of their In Memoriam section. A pioneering figure in Mexican cinema, Pinal’s remarkable career spanned decades, and she became an icon for her roles in classic films and her influence on the Mexican film industry.

Today you have a director talking about how they spent 8 years working out every meticulous detail of their passion project. Meanwhile I'll see a movie from the 50/60s with the most insane blocking/compositions and it's from a director who made 2-3 films a year without stopping.
