A principios del siglo XX México estaba a punto de vivir su revolución. En medio de ese clima caldeado, las autoridades llevaron a cabo una redada homofóbica en una fiesta gay. Al irrumpir en la casa donde se hacía la reunión, la policía se sorprendió al encontrar a la mitad de los hombres vestidos de mujeres y bailando con el resto. La mayoría pertenecía a familias aristocráticas.

As a whole... it remains too stilted, like a painstakingly staged tableau vivant of late-19th-century Mexico and the patriarchal power structures that undergirded it.

9/10

Dance of the Forty One is an excellent film with impactful acting, excellent period pieces, and an absolutely woeful exploration of how compulsory gender and sexuality roles have and continue to be potent purveyors of tragedy.

It seems the film is either in love or too strict with itself. Sometimes it works... but sometimes that indecision is a drag. [Full review in Spanish]
