Deep Crimson
Arturo Ripstein
Mexico,
1996
Mexican provocateur Arturo Ripstein takes the ever-ripe lovers-on-the-run premise of dime-store pulp to its deliriously overheated, wickedly perverse extreme. In 1940s Mexico, a lusty, hot-for–Charles Boyer nurse (Regina Orozco) meets a balding con man (Daniel Giménez Cacho) who’s touchy about his toupee through a lonely hearts ad, and it’s not long before they’re off on a cross-country crime spree robbing and murdering widows in between bouts of carnal passion. Based on the same true-crime shocker that inspired THE HONEYMOON KILLERS, DEEP CRIMSON—presented here in its 2023 director’s cut—blends the heavy-breathing hysterics of golden-age melodrama with startling violence and Buñuelian black humor.
