Holly Jones Guatemalan born director César Diaz, a 2019 Camera d’Or winner for “Our Mothers,” pulls from his past to provide a harrowing and earnest look at an activist’s inner tumult in his latest title, “Mexico 86.” Bowing at Locarno’s Piazza Grande on Aug.10, the film centers on the toils and sacrifice of its resident revolutionary Maria, played by Academy Award nominee Bérénice Béjo (“The Artist”).
French sales are handled by Bac Films, with Bac and Goodfellas taking on international rights. Benelux distribution goes to O’Brother while Swiss sales are handled by Xenix Film.
The project is produced by Belgium’s Need Productions and French outfit Tripode Productions and co-produced by Pimienta, Menuetto, France TV, RTBF, Voo & Be TV, Proximus and Shelter Prod with associate production credits to YK Well Enterprise and Yukunkun.
From her decision to rebel against an unjust regime on through to her exile in Mexico, where Maria faces the high consequence of her fierce dedication, the narrative pays solid homage to those brave enough to push for a brighter future despite close-to-home casualties here, involving a complicated relationship with her uprooted adolescent son, Marco (Matheo Labbé).
