ADVENTURESS (Aventurera)
DIRECTOR: Alberto Gout
STARRING: Ninón Sevilla, Tito Junco, Andrea Palma, Rubén Rojo
MEXICO, 1950,
1 HOUR 41 MINUTES,
SPANISH + ENGLISH SUBTITLES
Ninón Sevilla stars as Elena, an upper middle-class young woman whose life is sensationally turned upside down.
A victim of circumstances, Elena descends into a nightlife of extravagant dances, forced exploitation and prostitution under control of the brothel madam. The drama includes surrealist shows, lies, betrayal and offers
a critique of the dynamics of social class, power and double morality.
Aventurera was director Alberto Gout’s fourteenth feature film, commissioned by production company Cinematográfica Calderón as a vehicle to bring Sevilla to super-stardom.
Music plays an instrumental role in the narrative with Pedro Vargas singing the Aventurera song written by popular Agustín Lara.
