TIME TO DIE (on CINE-FILE Chicago)

AuthorScott Pfeiffer DateFriday, September 22, 2017 at 10:47AM

For CINE-FILE Chicago, I wrote about Arturo Ripstein's 1965 Mexican Western TIME TO DIE. The fuse is lit from the beginning: all we're doing, really, is watching it play out. It would make a good double feature with another resonant genre piece, Henry King's 1950 Western THE GUNFIGHTER with Gregory Peck, which I like to imagine a young García Márquez (he co-wrote TIME TO DIE with no less than Carlos Fuentes) enjoying as the young film critic he once was. Check out my writeup here, and consider going to see it at the Siskel Film Center on Saturday at 5:45 or on Wednesday at 6:00pm.
