The White Caravan - Tetri karavani - (1963)

For generations, shepherds from villages high up in the mountains have been traveling with their vast sheep herds, moving them to distant pastures where they spend the long winter. Each of the villagers has a story to tell, intimated through flawless concision, while the film’s effortlessly fluid epic narrative is interwoven with lyrical passages, together creating a timeless cinematic poem about the primary values in life.

Deep Crimson - Profundo carmesí - (Arturo Ripstein, 1996)

Set in 1940s northern Mexico, this film re-tells the story of “The Lonely Hearts Killers”, a famous couple of murderers who made victims of lonely and wealthy widows in the USA. Coral is a rotund and passionate nurse who knows handsome gigolo Nicolas Estrella and falls for him immediately. Nicolas rejects her because she’s not rich, but Coral is determined to get him at any cost. She abandons her children and follows the man in spite of his way of living. Together they will scheme to swindle and murder women who look for love and companions writing letters to a sentimental courier.

A new Director's Cut premiered in September 2023 at the Venice Film Festival. It includes 24 minutes of previously unreleased footage. Most notably, the scene in which Coral prepares to perform an abortion is extended to show the procedure, and the scene in which she prepares to murder the a child plays out in full, with her shown putting the girl in the tub and drowning her. I am not sure that this version posted here is a Director´s Cut release.
