This sly, irreverent, affectionate portrait of Mexico’s foremost novelist probes beneath the surreal surface of his work to expose the roots of his fiction and its place in the world of literature. The camera follows Fuentes’ career from Washington, D.C., to Santiago, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City—cities which have left a mark on his personality and writing. Included are interviews with William Styron and other writer-friends and scenes from Fuentes’ Old Gringo with Jane Fonda and Gregory Peck. (58 minutes)
