"The passion drives us crazy"
Wow! This is a terrific movie that I was reluctant to see but very plesantly surprised and glad that I did. A remake of a classic from 1949 by the prolific actor/director Emilio Fernandez, this redo does not disappoint, then again, I never saw the original. A good movie anyway, as I really enjoyed the recreation of the time period. The story takes place in Mexico in the early 1940's at a famous ballrooom named, Salon Mexico, hence the name of the movie. The movie opens up with the murder of a couple, who apparently kill each other and who, it turns out, were dance parteners. The movie is all about how this tragedy came to be. The investigator arrives and the story is told through a series of flashbacks via the investigators interogation. What he discovers is an interesting relationship between various interelated characters that knew the two victims.The principle characters are the victims, Paco, as played by Alberto Estrella( The Last Call) and Mercedes who is portrayed by veteran actress Maria Rojo. The couple are revealed to be a hot dancing couple with a volatile relationship. They could create magic on the dance floor but the inevitable mayhem was a result of a complicated relationship. Interesting tid bits are revealed in the questioning of witnesses which keeps you guessing but the revelations are just the thing to keep the movie moving along. You might make a wrong guess as I did, then again maybe not as I'm no Sherlock Holmes. The movie was nominated for many Mexican awards and won five including Cinematography and Costume Design. These two make for a really good movie experience as the detail to the time period is perfect. There are some memorable lines in the movie as when a street whore says she "is going to Veracruz to make first communion dresses" since the Salon Mexico as been closed while the investigation is conducted. This is a very good movie, with exquisite detail to the time period, excellent acting, tragic story line with a few twists and turns, all the while staying on track for a good movie experience.
