‘Dance of the 41’ Review: Netflix’s drama is a gorgeous tale of closeted gay love
Dance of the 41 (★★★★☆), the steamy fictionalized account of a real-life scandal that rocked Mexican high society in 1901.Alfonso Herrera, so good on Sense8 as the lover of a closeted action star, is excellent here as the son-in-law with a secret, Ignacio de la Torre. At first, Ignacio’s new wife, Amada Díaz (Mabel Cadena), suspects little of her husband’s late-night wanderings.The daughter of Mexico’s president Porfirio Díaz (Fernando Becerril), Amada believes Ignacio merely works hard as a congressman.
