THE KNEELING GODDESS
LA DIOSA ARRODILLADA
Mexico
| 1947 | Roberto Gavaldón
The sensuous María Félix plays a stormy, dark-haired artist’s model who lures a married man (Arturo de Córdova) away from his innocent wife and down a path to degradation. This vivid Mexican classic is surprisingly sexy and suggestive for a 1940s movie. “The most outré of melodramas…A movie of flagrant symbols, blatant coincidences and astounding scenes.” –J. Hoberman, The NY Times. Subtitles. DCP. 107 min.
