Del olvido al no me acuerdo

Del olvido al no me acuerdo is the kind of inspirational film that composes a delicious poem of identity and memory, as a son journeys to reconstruct the life of his father. The result is a montage of hauntingly beautiful images and stories that are merged to form one of Cine Mexicano 2001's most mesmerizing gems.
Director Juan Carlos Rulfo is the son of renowned Mexican writer and poet, Juan Rulfo. Returning to the town of Jalisco, Mexico, Rulfo interviews all of the elders who remember his late father. This results in an often humorous revelation that, along with the remembered details, there are just as many forgotten, unsaid details. It is soon apparent that the accounts brought forth by Jalisco's elders are woven of threads of the real, the borrowed, and even the invented - resulting in what the director coins as "docu-fiction."

La memoria y los recuerdos de un grupo de ancianos y adultos del estado mexicano de Jalisco. El pretexto es la búsqueda de Juan, del que nadie recuerda nada. El afán por armar el rompecabezas en el que Juan se ha convertido, como si fuese un mito, nos lleva a descubrir a personajes entrañables.
