Great Mexican films: Macario.

It was the first Mexican film to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.It was also entered into the 1960 Cannes Film Festival. The film was released when Mexico was experiencing a nationalist era of cinema. Based in a novel of the same name by B. Traven

Leaves the viewer the question of whether it was a dream of Macario before dying, or a brief evil preamble of Death to play with him.
